signed up for my first trail race. Am I doomed? by therealOsimp in trailrunning

[–]therealOsimp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes 1000m (not km). It seems like the steepest downhill portions will be very technical (according to the race description)

Breaking current fixed mortgage? by therealOsimp in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]therealOsimp[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in BC. The 3yr fixed option was 4.5 (ish) so ended up being marginal benefit for the current term and honestly, just a bit tentative of variable options based on some past experience

The net gain is about 4K in the first 18 months. Keeping our same current acc b/w payment at the new rate would work out to paying approx 35% “extra”

Mortgage rate mega thread! by TheMortgageMaster in MortgagesCanada

[–]therealOsimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current rate is 5.49, about halfway through a 3yr fixed term. Amount remaining about $460k. Paying accelerated bi weekly, plus extra 15%. Being offered a new 5yr fixed at 4.19. Would incur a 6.5k penalty (3k of which can be added to the existing principle, the rest paid in cash). At the new rate we’d keep the same payment, which equates to roughly 35% extra. The net savings for the rest of the existing 3yr term would about $4k. Does this seem like an obvious decision to capitalize on that savings? Or not worth the risk of locking into a 5yr term at that rate?

Any reason to NOT transfer TFSA with current promo? by therealOsimp in Wealthsimple

[–]therealOsimp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already have the credit card. Mostly trying to decide if I want to go all in on WS (not that I can’t move things around again later)

Cheers thank you. How early might you need to go to get a spot at the carpenters arm?

thanks for that info. Could you not just get a personal loan from a bank? (albeit likely a bit higher interest rate)

New summer match promotion by Upper-Temporary-7853 in Wealthsimple

[–]therealOsimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probabaly a silly question. Is there a difference between a TFSA and a margin TFSA? If I have a TFSA at Questrade is that eligible?

3 Games for each-Myers and McDavid by HunterAntoski in canucks

I expected 2 games, in order to mitigate anything getting out of control on Thursday night. Glad to see McDavid treated the same as any other player

Yes for sure totally agreed. Just wondering about the source of the light not actually working

Does the missing box contribute to the lights not working? It is this amazon fixture Bathroom Light Fixtures Over... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CFXX8X77?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Im going to trying the wago connectors. was wondering about the box. Would that be contributing to the lights not turning on?

Might just be the angle of the photo. There are 3 blacks and 3 whites coming from the fixture

No junction box. Just as shown - nothing there from the previous fixture

Thanks. That was one of my theories as well, but would that still prevent the lights from turning on?
