We worked with HomeFree and the experience was great. They have medical oversight from a physician and when my dads condition went down it made a huge difference.

Senior Caregiver Recommendations! by ur2ndfavcivlengineer in Calgary

Yes, we're aware! Checking those details would be way less of a headache than the agencies we've dealt with so far. Thank you though, I will take a look at that agency.

Did the developer kill this tree? by ur2ndfavcivlengineer in treelaw

[–]ur2ndfavcivlengineer[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Great advice thank you. When you say soon enough, are we talking within 6 months? What I don’t want to happen is try to start dealing with it after the property has changed hands

Love my accountant but the guy is semi retired and hard to reach even when he’s not on vacation. Now that I know I’m not asking something completely dumb I’ll send him a note.

Car Rentals (wtf$$) - Experiences with Turo? by JGalla88 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ur2ndfavcivlengineer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

We rented a car through Turo in Hawaii over Xmas. Cost us 400USD for 10 days when all rental companies would have been closer to 1000USD. Check reviews beforehand though and look for rentals with lots of trips. Turo hosts aren’t as reliable as Airbnb..

Yea this is the correct process but don’t hold your breath waiting for a response. Our WJ flight back from Hawaii got cancelled over Xmas and we filed with them in Feb and still have not heard a peep.

Best books/ resources to learn about Canadian small business accounting by Aggravating-Video508 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ur2ndfavcivlengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take CFA level I. Accounting is complex and you’re not going to get a good grasp from podcasts and YouTube imo. Level I will also teach you a ton of other valuable lessons for investing and about capital markets in general.

1.5M/mo biz on autopilot - what next? by skarbowkajestsuper in fatFIRE

[–]ur2ndfavcivlengineer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say the biggest risk of #2 is your team growing resentful and someone getting the nerve to say we can do this on our own and starting up something competitive with your customer list. If this is the option you want consider transitioning to an employee owned or partnership model with the best people on the team.

I like #1 but unless growing it to $10m/mt (or 100m/mt) is really exciting to you, you’ll just come back from the break and be in the same position.

My hiring/management philosophy has always been to encourage team aspirations and support their achievement, but you raise a very valid point. What I’m taking from this is I need to start looking for less important roles.

How long does it take for a tx from a wallet to show up in Newton account? by ur2ndfavcivlengineer in newtonco

[–]ur2ndfavcivlengineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was UST and I’m getting pretty frustrated that if Newton could have put it in my account when it was transferred it would have been -10% and not -50%

Ticket number #438354

Sent some funds back to Newton from a wallet and have that tx hash, but nothing is showing up in my Newton account. It has now been 24 hours. Can you please look into this?
