We don’t have cable, so missed Schitts Creek and all that was happening around it on TV. Wife and I just binged it on Netflix and loved it. Then we watched the “behind the scenes” show on Netflix...
I had no idea David was “Daniel Levy”... and it’s so obvious! I just thought it was great casting, and Eugene co-wrote it with his brother or something. Kinda neat to learn about that after we had finished the show, but I feel boneheaded!
ok. that's funny. laughing with you and not at you.
did you also know that Twyla, the waitress in the cafe, is Eugene Levy's daughter?
Candy manufacturers, like skittles and sour patch kids, sell excess inventory and/or expired product to pig/cattle farmers as food. Had no idea.
I also learned this recently. We have numerous third party vending machines at my place of work. They used to just throw expired product in the garbage. They now pack the expired product up and take with them. The local Hutterites purchase (for cheap, cheap) and feed to their farm animals.

You can get grass fed beef, I wonder when they'll begin marketing skittles fed beef.
Gaudreau could be the spokesperson.

I have always thought it was weird that racially mixed people like Iginla and Obama were just called black instead of mixed, especially in America. It only recently occurred to me that this is likely influenced by the “one drop” racial purity rule that was used in the US to identify people with even a single black ancestor as being black. Had never heard of that rule before.

I learned that the Nintendo company was formed in 1889. 132 years old! They started out manufacturing playing cards, diversified many times over the years and then ended up in video games in the 1970s.
You are eligible for a treaty card if you are 1/64 th indigenous. I was told this but the teller did not show me his card.
I know a guy who does this. There is nothing about him remotely indigenous, or his parents, or anyone within 50 years of him. Grew up in the suburbs, very well off, it's literally a technicality, someone along the line was part indigenous, and he somehow clutched onto it in his 30s. He looks as white as Conan O'Brien. He abuses the living hell out of the tax advantages, and benefits. Re-sells the cheap tax free Tabaco etc....
It's not cool, and not who the benefits are designed for, and how they are designed to be used. At that point it's just a straight up tax scam IMHO.
I've done a lot of reading and research on different types of investing my money. I was always good at saving money and slapping it in a mutual fund, but now I've learned more about my risk tolerance level and where I want my money to take me.

What tax advantages and benefits? Just curious because aside from the white card (fuel and tobacco tax exemption) there really aren’t any benefits I’m aware of unless you also live on a reserve as well.
I found out my wife doesn't want a new car. Also found out I don't listen so well.
You should thank her for accelerating your retirement then too, since that is essentially what she has done. Unless it's still spending the same amount on a higher end used car, or buying something else. It's called opportunity cost.

read the millennial revolution website. they have a whole free series on investing. lots of other FIRE-related websites out there too... but keep in mind you don't have to be eating-cat-food-frugal (or Mr. MMM). It comes down to consistently making good financial choices and truly differentiating needs from wants. Now if only I could get my wife on board... sigh....

I could never really get into that. I much prefer some balance and want to enjoy life as I live it. Of course I save a lot and I plan for retirement, but those extreme measures not doing anything along the way are just not something I’m interested in. I’m not even convinced it works, but that’s a whole other discussion.

I just did a small dive into their articles, and while their lifestyle may work for them, I dont think its entirely for me (no kids, no house, no cars). The investing strategy however seems reasonable enough, modest gains over a long term. However I think I'd want more than 1 mil in the bank before thinking of retirement.
