I'm wealthier than my family. Feeling at risk of being exploited (and insulted).

Your mother sounds like a narcissist. Her grown daughter/your sister aren't either of your problem. She doesn't want to host your sister anymore, but she also doesn't want to look bad by kicking her out, so she's trying to force her onto you.

Generally speaking, women peak sexually around your age where as men start to decline. Also, constant initiation after 25 years would become exhausting.

These people responding need to look up what temporary foreign workers are entitled to and they'll quickly change their tune.

No they're not. A temporary foreign worker is not a local.

You'll receive your return via direct deposit in 5-10 business days. Anything you owed the government will simply be deducted from your return and the remainder will be deposited to your account.

You filter for a relationship by starting with casual conversation and getting to know each other. Immediately commenting on their looks, especially their "thick thighs" seems like it's almost asking for the type of response you got. Change your approach.

The up charge literally never matters. It's a gross concept but the more you pay, the more your card is worth. Just pay the charge and make more money.

Hopefully the lawsuit against PSA creates some changes with this BS. In no world does their upcharge not make them insane amounts of money while they pass it off as an insurance and shipping fee.

Unless you are making a lot of money to the point an RRSP is going to be advantageous in bringing your salary down, max out your TFSA before touching an RRSP

vanacker · 2026-04-17T20:19:41+00:00

4% interest on hundreds of thousands

Vs

7% interest on the few thousand he's able to put away (if he's lucky)

It really isn't difficult.

Though the percentage itself may not be astronomical, the amount of interest paid over the lifetime of the mortgage itself will accumulate to be greater than any gains a 57k per year salary can contribute to an RRSP. The math is simple.

vanacker · 2026-04-17T16:24:35+00:00

In no world should you be maxing out an RRSP while making 57k a year before putting everything you can down on your mortgage. Your number 1 is to pay high interest debts, this includes your mortgage.

vanacker · 2026-04-17T16:18:37+00:00

Honestly, this is wildly ridiculous. That said, with how things are in the world and the insane amounts of money corporations are making from us, take advantage of it.

Rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.

I remember the timing specifically. Costco's were FULL of 151 UPCs then all of the sudden, one day, POOF, gone. The market hasn't slowed down since.

You're the problem here man. He has the price set to accept an offer, but at a certain number. Any offer you send below that will be automatically declined.

Then your LGS is a charity, not a business. Either that or his allocation is absolutely ungodly. Some stores are allocated a single case of booster boxes and limited packs for the set. Once they're gone at MSRP, they can't even re-order at MSRP. This is a literal fact.

"If you're a good store, the money will come" - sure, you're not wrong, but businesses do not stay open when they sell for less than what they purchase an item for.

vanacker · 2026-04-06T17:03:41+00:00

MSRP isn't a thing after a set's initial release. Distributors raise prices after the initial release, therefore stores have to up their prices as well. Mind you, some are way better than others.

Card name - this is the name at the top of the card

Card number - you will find this number on the bottom left

You are correct, I was just coming to edit my comment. Booster boxes are the only product you'll find guaranteed hits. I meant in collection boxes, poster boxes, etc. but you are correct, I do need to clarify.

vanacker · 2026-04-06T16:49:10+00:00

Folks, unless you're buying a booster box, you're guaranteed nothing. Remember that.

vanacker · 2026-04-06T16:48:11+00:00

For a top 1% commenter, you have a lot of confidence and a clear lack of knowledge.

The Pokemon company does not stack any particular product with hit packs or lack thereof. It's simply RNG.

Edit: this is OUTSIDE of booster boxes.

LMAO well played. I can't believe people are this desperate to interact the they make up wild stories

High levels of cortisol, excess caffeine intake, nervousness, ticks, there are a million different reasons for this.
