How are you all going about continuing to buy index funds while everything is literally green and I see people doubling their investment in such a short amount of time. Feel as I am missing so much money that could’ve been made. But VOO goes up 1% :///

Would people mind saying their yearly income and how much their mortgage/rent is? Can they also note if they live with roommates and how much they pay as well?

If I've maxed out my TFSA, should I continue investing through an RRSP or a personal investment account?

For context, I also have a good pension. My main concern is that while the RRSP will be nice to lower my taxable income now, I'm worried when I retire I'll have to withdraw too much from both the RRSP and pension. Thoughts?

1/3 Question on tax treatment of nonpriority unsecured claims converted into long-term note decreased total liabilities under Chapter 11. An accrual based C-Corp taxpayer completed a Chapter 11 reorganization and converted a total of $1M A/P to suppliers into a $410K LT note (a $590K liability reduction). Should we view this $590K as the Sec. 108(a)(1)(A) excludable income? After reading through IRS Pub 4681, I think it makes sense to view the $590 as "Reduced Price After Purchase", but not

Creatives who don’t code: how did you build your portfolio site?

Mine is currently on WordPress and uses a theme I paid a one-time fee for.

I guess I wouldn’t mind continuing to use WordPress, but I need a refresh.

Anyone have opinions on using page builders like Elementor or Divi with WordPress?

Should I be considering Squarespace or Wix instead? Is Cargo still a thing?

After going from big agency to in-house, I have the chance to move to a smaller in-house company to be the only creative and eventually begin to build my own team. Ideal situation or terrifying one?

Public finance exit opps?

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.
