How is everyone feeling about the property tax increase proposal... I usually don't worry about this type of thing but a 9.7% increase is stressing me out.

I don’t agree with the property tax increase but in the recent election, how many people ticked “yes” to all the infrastructure investments needed. Clearly enough to justify proposing such a large increase.

The government’s revenue comes from taxes. If we collectively agree to increase spending, there’s no other way.

Now we have to live with it.

Trying to figure out what to do after it gets approved. 9.7% is already excessive for someone who's earning barely $70k with 2 children and a wife. Trying to keep a positive thought about it.

I can’t afford to own property.

How do I feel about giving government more of my money, not great. But it’s the world we live in.

Crazy high taxes are never good

The NDP provincial government and everyone who voted for them definitely disagrees with you. At least when it comes to taxing the 1%.

I am doing a back door Roth IRA through Vanguard and while everything makes sense to me, I am unsure if an additional $6000 be invested for a non working spouse. We satisfy the criteria but two questions - 1) Is this still valid I.e., $12k can be invested for 2021? And 2) Any insight into how this is done - Vanguard doesn’t let me add more than $6k as it’s above the individual limit. I tried searching the bowl for specific answers but wasn’t successful. Inputs appreciated.

Hi all, asking on behalf of my SO. He’s currently in a backend engineer security role and wants to move into an infra related one. He’s in talks with his manager about moving internally in his current company but that is still in discussion. He just got an offer from another company for an infra role but they need an answer in the next week. How do you guys suggest he push for a decision from his manager about the internal move. Should he tell his manager he has another offer?

I think ISO is better in the R6 Mk 2. I do miss the joystick on my old 7D. IS seems greatly improved.
