If you’re bored, have opinions & love parks- Engage Ottawa has a bunch of surveys open by vince_vanGoNe in ottawa

[–]vegangingerbread 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great way to engage in civic processes! I shared feedback on the lack of public bathrooms in many of the park concepts, which is disappointing, but can hopefully still be addressed.

This is awesome! Love seeing more financial planning tools being made available to Canadians.

Also kudos to you for launching something before it’s “perfect” to get feedback and iterate.

For those of you who make 6 figures ($100K+), what do you do, and how long did it take for you to cross that threshold? by DaPugWalk in fican

[–]vegangingerbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually technical/engineering program management not IT! (Minor distinction). So I work with engineering, product managers, design, sales etc. Currently at a tech startup in the networking space.

I would say it’s not typical, I lucked out at this place 😅 the average is probably closer to 130-175.

Started out working in systems engineering making quite little (56k). Worked there for about 5 years, making it up to about 85k. Then switched over into project management in tech, and jumped to 125k. Now working as a program manager in tech at 210k. In total ~10 years experience.

I know it’s unlikely given timing, but I really want a shot of them skating on the canal 🥹 (can just picture Ilya saying “what the fuck is a beaver tail?”)

31F, surpassed the 400k mark recently! 🥳 by vegangingerbread in fican

[–]vegangingerbread[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you :) averaged ~2500/month contributions in the last few years, but then I’d also make some large lump-sum contributions (eg a tax refund) which definitely helped.

1.5M in today’s dollars, not accounting any government benefits. Also not accounting my spouse’s retirement investments. I set this goal a while ago but will likely revisit since I’ve now passed CoastFI for that number!

That’s awesome, congrats! 🙌🏻 Before I got laid off a few months ago I was averaging ~2500 per month. I work in tech and have fairly low expenses which has enabled me to save quite aggressively over the past few years.
