    Electrical work - ESA

    Electrician should have their own insurance for liability which means you could sue them for their incompetence. Lots of electricians do work without the permit because it's another step waiting for someone to inspect. Time is money. You can also call the esa and your insurance company to get...

    Electrical work - ESA

    When you go through esa it's a actual permit versus an electrician doing the work unpermitted. With an esa permit they send in an inspector for the rough in and also a final inspection. Of note homeowners can get a permit and do the work by themselves.

    How much are you down this year?

    I was looking at cameco as a long term hold. it makes sense, Im just unfamiliar with it. Also considering CP if it hit the number I'm looking for. Not a huge dividend but it's consistent which is what I'm about. My portfolio is at all time highs considering I'm very under on AQN and BCE. Still...

    What did you do to celebrate your 40th birthday?

    I'm all about food. A nice rib eye with some red, ice cream, hot pot, whatever your little heart's desire. I find it's much more satisfying than poon.

    How much are you down this year?

    I was under the impression that he doesn't time the market but buys companies that are under valued. I recall some videos that he won't pull the trigger if there isn't a company that he under values and deems investable. Considering his method of analyzing companies to find value and he would...

    Thinking of leaving Canada. Anyone else?

    Visa can be finicky, but if you are over 50 you can get a retirement visa. There are certain financial requirements but it's completely doable if you have enough coming in monthly or 40kcad depending on exchange. If you get the visa OA in Canada it's just some paperwork and proof of financial...

    Thinking of leaving Canada. Anyone else?

    Over the past year I thought it would have been more of a problem but it really has taken a back seat to other things. I cook more, hike, learn new things and thought of taking on smaller ways to build like wood sculpting with hand carving tools. It's surprising how full my day is considering...

    Thinking of leaving Canada. Anyone else?

    I don't have kids. All my stuff is tools which I have been selling off. It's changing personal behavior as far as letting things go. heck just changing my behavior from a saving mindset to spending is difficult. I appreciate the advice though.

    Thinking of leaving Canada. Anyone else?

    Just retired April 25 2024. It's been a new learning curve ever since. Like many I to am contemplating leaving Canada for parts unknown. It is unsettling navigating change; but like you, it seems necessary to do so for various reasons, many of which we share. I'm exploring, currently doing in...

    Current strategy?

    I purchase a company's shares every month. When a significant drop happens I'll pick up extra that month if warranted. I don't like to do large purchases as I'd rather have the highs and lows. Not getting the mathematical optimization as stated by @Liam011 but it's much easier on the nerves. I...

    Current strategy?

    My strategy hasn't changed. I continue to invest every month and will continue to do so till my cash reserve for investing is empty. I live below my means and reinvest anything leftover. I don't have a lot of things since I find they are an anchor to freedom.

    Tantrums

    Why would I stay in a relationship with someone with behavior that is either a tantrum or mental health issues? It's difficult enough navigating your own individual life let alone a person that requires so much attention. No thanks. I'll take peace for 500 Alex. :)
