I bought enough stock that the dividend covers my monthly fees. I reinvest the dividend so the yield keeps increasing. It’s a Canadian bank so it’s safe AF and not going anywhere and it’s up like 18%+ since I started the other year so I’m not going backwards there either.
Weird way to cover my fees but seems to be working.
I mean yeah. I also own a house and have set my life up in such a way that I can afford to live what most people consider a normal life.
I’ll be honest if you can’t afford ~$1,000 in savings. Which is the sum that it took to cover my bank fees in dividend returns then it’s not about being rich or poor, it’s about being poor with your financial decisions. I grew up poor. Literally bankrupt poor, moving from place to place as we ran from bills. I started paying for my own clothes at age 9 and foot the bill for my entire life since age 12. Having $1,000 in the bank is not just for rich people. I’ve had that in the bank since I was 15 years old. Sometimes it wasn’t any more than that, but even when I was living on my own with zero support and bills up to my eyeballs, there was still a chunk of money earning me money along the way.
Life was never easy, I don’t know when the story it was got sold to people. At the end of the day, if you can’t scrape together $1000, then shits beyond fucked up and tough decisions need to be made. I didn’t take a vacation for like 15 years other than a long weekend so I could save up. That wasn’t even tough LoL, it was just life. That was the norm around me and I expect it to continue for many if not most.
Trudeau is furious? Enough to skip his next vacation and do something more than put tampons in men’s bathrooms?
I voted for this schmuck previously, but can’t see bringing myself to do it again even though his opponent is an even bigger piece of shit. It’s a shame Singh has been so weak and unable to establish the NDP nationally. Cons are going to fuck Canadians over just as badly as the Liberals have, but they’re meaner about it.
