This was done at the height of COVID, and the lowest interest rates at the time. Everything (EDIT: that was possible) was setup for DRIP.

I'll see if I can find the screen shot / list. Don't want to ask him again. It was all in high dividend paying stocks.

Yup. I don't ask too many questions, and I have the list of his investments somewhere in my inbox. Good for him. He didn't tell his wife...thankfully it worked out. But it did work, and he's cranking on paying back the loans. My plan was to take 10k, invest in TFSA, pay down 5k, add another...

He dumped it all into his TFSA. Doesn't trade it, and just holds long term so there's no eyebrows raised at CRA. Been working well for him, his earnings were lower when interest rates shot up, but he was averaging $300-400/month income at the highest rates after interest (give or take)...

Great series of books received from a fantastic GTAMer. Thanks again @klr_guy

My deadlift has always been fairly consistent. Get up to 180ish, and then drop down again. Honestly I was focused on something else and just wasn’t paying attention. I squared 224lbs x 3 x 12 today, then took the weights off to adjust the barbell position. And just kept adding weights. I...

I think I need new sliders for my snowblower. The bottom end bent in and the auger scrapes on the asphalt. Another small project for the books. So…with the awesome Canadian patriotism happening…who’s putting up a Canadian flag? I have the flag, just need the pole…Kevin that bastard cut it off...

Sure did today! But I am an effing idiot... Did the squats, and when I setup for deadlift I had 164lbs in my mind, but without thinking just kept adding more weight... 'hmmm...this is heavier than I thought. Must be losing it' 'damn...can't do 12 reps at 164...wth' 'oh...this is 214lbs...not...

I remember that setup. Good setup actually. I may go that route as I'm out of projects for 2025 (except a new fence). I want a 27" or 30" for our place. There's one at the cottage but it's more needed there. And I'm not buying one as this one I have right now is working like a champ.

My buddy took out 100k, put it all into a ridiculous amount (30+) of dividend paying stocks, and now is making $800-1000/month in dividends. Mind you 30+ in stocks is a lot to track.

I was planning on doing that for neighbours...but I finished after 8am and it was time to start working. Maybe in the evening, but I'm quite sure I'm out of fuel and the canister is empty.

4 years to sit at home at $100k/year...for a conditional sentence. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/toronto-cop-suspended-with-pay-since-2020-gets-conditional-sentence-for-fraud-scheme-to-stage/article_54b8d752-e957-11ef-93d6-b3716c6dccb0.html

Spent the last 1.5hrs clearing snow, and will apologize to the neighbours accordingly for starting up before 7....fortunately the neighbour started his at 5am so I should be OK. @nobbie48 that snowblower I bought off you is fantastic. Old and rusty, but trusty! Thing went through it like a champ.

I’ve looked into it before and it doesn’t work with the type of HELOC that I currently have. Must be a readvancable type of mortgage. My broker advised against it simply because it’s leveraged investing. But I know plenty of people that did it and made out like bandits. I’m too risk averse.

MIL got hers yesterday. That now accounts for all of it. Funny…I don’t feel any richer.

Drove a Bolt EUV and was thoroughly impressed. Was ready to pull the trigger and then offered me a ridiculously low trade in value for the GTI…so I walked. I’ll throw out my counter offer tomorrow. But the car drove well and I found it drove firmer than the IONIQ5. They give me within 1k of...

Same...may have caught 5-10min of a game way back when...now...didn't even know it was on until my sister told the day before.

This one’s for you sparkies…. @oioioi and @SunnY S

So….which EVs are made in Canada? https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ndp-tesla-tariffs-1.7455273
