I'm hungry for curry chicken and chips now.
....and a triple IPA just because it's been that kind of day.

Chips???
Is that good? I take the naan bread and soak up the sauce!

Triple IPA - mmmmmmm
Great idea- I have to stop by store after work

I’m not a curry fan but if it pays off the mortgage faster I’m in. Lol.

I understood putting the loc as a home line then it was secured. That’s why they said they could lower the interest rate from the 7 plus it was to the around 6.

I should also add (if it’s Relevant) I do have a fare amount of debt. It’s just spread around quite a bit some threw the store but we had to personally guarantee a lot of it

Mortgage for the store threw BDC, car loan, truck loan, truck lease, trailer loan, operating lines, supplier credits ect ect. Our bank guy did say yesterday we are pushing it to the limit right now.

Unless I want to buy a house instead of renovate then he preapproved us for another 400k

We could complicate things further by accessing whether to take some amount of secured Loc and locking into 1yr gIC ( just an example) not sure current highest %rate of return currently available.vs current rate of interest.

Forget it - I know how to spend not how to save- that’s High Commander’s job lol

We have appointment set to discuss that because we still are carrying some start up costs personally that my accountant says we should be in far enough that we can get the business start to carry more of it.

We have been putting extra into the highest interest one and by this time next year it will be gone so then everything we were putting on that will go onto the next one on top of the payment currently being paid. Then the. Ext one after that. Once the ball gets rolling it snowballs pretty quick

Can you combine both into one at the lower rate then you take the money you were paying to the higher one and put that into a TFSA bi-weekly/monthly, then withdraw and make a lump-sum annually which goes straight to principal on the combined? Most conventional mortgages at the banks allow you to pay a lump sum periodically (RBC/BMO are annually on the anniversary date) up to a specified percentage (eg. 20%). You get the benefit of lower interest and a faster combined paydown - also leave the HELOC/LOC at zero after the balance is moved to the mortgage. Only suggesting this as I think you said the balance on the LOC/HELOC was for property improvement versus consumer spending - otherwise I wouldn't suggest it.

relax.

I've been well served by taking a moment to think before responding garners much better results than trying to fill dead air with a fast response, not just interviews but everywhere. My response if often "I need a moment to think that over" which allows me to fully process and deliver a good response, rather than a quick response.

How many times have you been at the Depot or some other place looking for solutions and a bit of advice and had an "associate" give bad advice. This comes from most peoples need to give an answer, any answer, rather than a good, correct answer.

My mental gears turn slower. I don't think I'm alone on this.

I must look like I have good advice - cause whenever I'm in Home Depot people come to me for help...lol and I have dirty hands - I don't think anyone working at Home Depot has dirty hands...lol Happened once a Canadian Tire a hot little Horse Girl looking for some trailer hitch advice ( I couldn't even speak English she was so hot)

It is a "bad" thing if it's consumer debt...just like with credit card revolving debt, just at a lower rate. It still means you're spending more than you make (unless it's used for investment like the 9% used it for potentially). It's been pretty common in both US/Canada (more so US) before the 2008 crash and becoming so again afterwards.

With interest rates still at historical lows, they say paying off your mortgage vs investing your money is not a good idea.
i.e. i makes more sense (cents literally) to invest your money at 9% rate of return then to hurry up and pay your 2.3% mortgage.
But I just can't do it. That mortgage needs to be gone!

I realize that but kinda why I said the example yesterday was setup similar to a second mortgage - the first never drops the principal artificially extending the amor date of the first - the trick is restraint - max it out good luck - but there are lines that can work to ones advantage again restraint - I live credit card free and I'm no millionaire...

Couldn't agree more... I'm still using the original 35+ year old kitchen in my place, I don't care. I could easily do a full reno now and be further down the rabbit hole, but nope. I'm focused on killing the mortgage fast and hard. I'll sleep better at night once it's paid off.

things where a lot different then - I had a mortgage in the 80's it was stressful - just getting a 5000.00 loan wash and panic and that decision from the lender didn't happen over night like it does today they made you sweat your bag off everyone uses finance different - I fear investing and real estate is the only choice for me - but as you pay down your house the value increases so the rate of return may be higher and safer than the actual investment numbers you stated - I've owned real estate since around 1986 and never lost - I will admit I did get real lucky during the down turn in the late 80's before the bottom fell out of that recession...

You can separate the HELOC from the mortgage and keep the payments separate so you can monitor the principal paydown independently plus if you actually used the equity for investment you have it separated for interest tax deduction purposes.

[92redragtop]

I believe in pacing and doing both (I don't like the mortgage either) so you end up with paid off home (doesn't matter as much on investment properties as leverage works there) and 7-figure (or more) investment portfolios (if you invest early enough to let compounding work for you).

Yeah, two streams of thought on that but if you can do both.......

The 9% is not actually ROE/ROI but rather the percentage of HELOC borrowers who used the money to invest (I assume appreciating assets) versus the percentage who used it to buy TVs, cars (depreciating assets), effectively wiping out that equity. If the return rates were 9% it would be a no-brainer to invest. On the flip side, at low mortgage rates more of your payments go to principal paydown versus interest.

missing part for the gazebo, man that sucks balls...

I'm going to tear down the 88 notch a little, you guys won't believe how stupid clean this thing is. Still has factory labels even on the fuel lines near the driveshaft lol Gonna be all stock minus the wheels and flowmasters.

Anyone watch that stupid hyperdrive show?

Am I so wrong to consider a s197 vert with a 4.6....even if it has boost ?

Drove the G37x this morning, it doesn't like old fuel but AC blows cold as F, drives like a dream. Nissan really did do a great job on these cars.

Have you been in the new Model 3 Dual Motor? You won’t miss your G.

[stangstevers]

I love Tesla on paper... I test drove a 3, wasn't impressed by it (in terms of quality), it's not a 60+ thousand dollar car - no way!

But instead of electric cars, I'm trying to work remote instead. :D

[Armen]

Was it a dual motor?

I was totally impressed. Beautiful interior too. White on white. But then again, this one was 85K.

Faster for how long. Drive it from Markham to TMP, thrash it on the road course and drive it home, long.

I have no idea. I just know I think my fillings came loose from my mouth when accelerating. No shifts. No interruptions. Just crazy, insane acceleration. It's quite a feeling. Very roller coaster like.

[stangstevers]

It's a car that feels like a jet on take-off... An employee of mine had that P100D version, stupid fast! lol

[stangstevers]

Man... I'm getting cold feet. Replacing the GT and G37 with a new Ford Ranger. There's nothing really fancy about that, it's pure utilitarian like how a truck should be. The good thing for me is I won't be paranoid about it, I won't care about door dings and fender benders so the commute will be slightly more enjoyable. The Mustang is tough, I was scared to death of having to get it resprayed or something because the value would have dropped considerably if it needed new body panels. So it took a lot of energy to drive the thing and look out for cops lol

My new job has me driving each day and the GTA isn't getting any smarter behind the wheel lol (although I am working towards being able to telecommute again but that will take a year or two). I really miss my old lifted Ranger, problem with that truck was the age (2003), 5 speed manual and MPG I got out of it because I never changed the gear ratio after the big tires. But it was a blast to just not give a F about it and take it off-road once in a while. In fact no one really parks close to you if your truck is caked in mud lol It's funny to watch those that do and get their clothes dirty LOL

When I want to thrash into corners and do burnouts, I have my trusty notchback which now can out-handle the S550's with ease and once I get the gear installed and blower put-on, it will be able to keep up with them too.

The smart thing would be to sell the Mustang and keep the G37 for another 3 years (low miles on the thing). But I'm not equipped to deal with dreamers and tire kickers.

LOL yeah that's the shortfall for them, so much $$$, so little truck. The F150 is certainly a better bargain since they handle better and whatnot. But having owned a newer F150 in the past, I just can't use it effectively. Parking garages are a bitch and it won't fit in my garage lol

The Ranger drives like a 90's truck. They are rough around the edges and all that. If you expect a luxury SUV out of it, I wouldn't recommend it. It's a lot more "Jeep" than Jeeps are today. lol

I have a serious 4wd friend who has a seriously equipped Toyo Landcruiser. He previously had a Taco, before that a 4Runner. I did a trip with him a couple of years ago, didn't touch pavement for 6 day and drove to the top of 3 mountains. He's somewhere between Vancouver and Tuktoyuktuk right now.

He mentioned that if he were in the market for a 4WD right now there's a mid size GMC that wins over the Taco. Might have been the Canyon or something like that.

People need to start beating their kids again. Children need structure and real parents (not parent/friend). We also need to stop rewarding welfare shit to produce kids, I think anyone on welfare should be neutered until they find a job. There should be some sort of permit application to have kids.

And bring back carding, statistics and math are not racist.

[mavrrrick]

I don't understand how they are out on bail.....its totally ridiculous!!! And yes, parenting plays a large roll in their kids.... A lot of parents expect the school system to raise their kids, see it all the time....they don't want to be the bad guy, want to be their friends. Then kids walk all over them and start treating them like shit ....the ball is now rolling!!

And yes, unfortunately , carding should be brought back...JMO.

I'm usually happy to see the kids go back to school and am looking forward in a way to getting back to a little more controlled chaos. But today I'm already missing my oldest son Mitchell who will move down to Kitchener on Sunday to fulfill his final year at Conestoga. Some of you met him at the spring track day and he is basically my mini me only 37yrs younger. Of all my siblings Mitch and I do a lot together and have a ton in common. We even think and say the same things at the same time - that freaks me out at times and other times makes me very happy and proud. He has excellent work ethic and although I'm an hours drive away we are working together on the same project. It is so comforting to know he's there doing a good job with very little supervision. I'm going to be lost for a week or so when he leaves but on a positive note I'm excited for his future. Yesterday he asked me if I was going to help him move. I said "What your two bags of clothing?" He replied "Kinda." I again replied "Of course I will!"

Honestly don't "need" one as I've put 2000lbs in the back of this truck and towed 10,000lbs with it and it hasnt been an issue but as I start to do these things with more regularity the safety net would be nice.

I guess that's the bright side of only having 225 HP.

430 sounds like a LOT of power!

Having trouble trying to "get into" work. Feels like I should be doing something else but the whole "money" thing gets in the way. Wish I was a trust fund baby like trudeau... never work a day in my life and get to mess up an entire country in the process LOL

Honestly if you just wanna go straight line speed you're better off going with a Coyote platform IMO. Seen many a 13/14 with low/mid range KMs for less than you'd pay for a Terminator and its just a great platform to start. Add a Vortech and supporting mods and you're looking at a potential 10 sec ride for probably what it would take to get in to a decent stock Terminator. When you start to talk about road course/hpde stuff then the scales start to tip the other way a bit. Also would be hard for me to shell out high 20's low 30's for a Cobra when that coin will get you in to stuff like Gen 2 CTS-V's, C6 Vettes, 996 Porsches, Supercharged AMG's, ETC.

Cobras are awesome don't get me wrong, but just where they're at price wise it's hard to make a justifiable case for one beyond "gotta have the Cobra" which if thats your mindset is totally cool too.

Feel like I'm about to get torched for this viewpoint.

Not modding the daily too much just peace of mind things and utility. Ordered some westin nerf bars to help prevent door dings... hitch for offloading and towing the notch lol... looking at a steel bumper to improve approach angles and look more aggressive on the highway... oh and lift the front by an inch at least....

Once the stock tires are worn out I want wider stance and some fender flares...

There's a Sikh family a couple of doors down.

This past summer they had a large wedding with blaring music well past midnight.

Looks like another one tonight, on a work night. Sounds like an Indian caribana, complete with car horns etc. They are having fun, which I like. There's 3 generations living in the house and I actually like their sense of family. I'm not a fan of lack of consideration for the dozen houses in immediate proximity, and larger disturbance to dozens more houses.

Windows closed tonight, but I refuse to be one of those anonymous neighbors calling in a complaint.

If I'm kept awake late into the night, I'll go over in person and politely ask for a volume reduction.

Same here, have a Sikh family a few houses down from me.

A couple of years ago one of the sons got married, it was a party fest for 3 solid days, 4th day was at a hall. First night, there was about 200-250 people that managed to carry the party from the house, to the front yard and then shutting down a fairly busy street at about 7-8pm. Neighbours wouldn't have none of it, cops showed up in 10 min. They were escorted back to their property. 1 hour later they were back on the street, cops showed up again. Cops stayed for awhile until the guests moved to the backyard, where the party continued including banging drums and playing music until 3am.
Next night party continued in the backyard with fewer guests, again with the banging drums and loud music. Cops were called twice that evening.

You want to party I'm fine with it, but please have some God damn consideration for your neighbours. Especially since the partying started in the middle of the week.

[True Blue]

I chat with a Sikh acquaintance fairly often. His parents had an arranged marriage, as he will be having. According to him the divorce rates are low, so it appears to work for those who adopt this course. He's excited to get hitched.


I'm not going down that road as to why.

[stangstevers]

Divorce rates probably going up because of stupid "reality" tv shows like cardashians where young ladies expect lavish lifestyles and when real reality hits - they blame their new husbands for not providing enough money, not being "romantic" enough, etc...

You know if you eat too much junk food, you will get a weak and sick body. Well, same goes for consuming content, absorb junk media, get a weak and sick mind. Just look at youtube's popular videos... Good content is nowhere near as popular.

I think that would be a crazy good wedding celebration and it’s sad we all don’t get to do it that way. Shitty about disrupting others but if that wasn’t the case the party sounds epic

I know of a couple marriages that didn't work out because they wife expected that she would be able to stay home all day like their mom did and raise the kids. it wasn't a problem till they decided that they were also of the belief that house work wasn't woman's work (not saying it is) and the husbands got tired of working extra hours all the time to make ends meet, and then coming home to a disaster house there were expected to clean up.

more so though I think its more that people don't want to work at it. they expect married life to be bliss all the time and when things go wrong the easiest thing to do is walk away.

the rest is just sometimes you don't realize how crazy someone is till you marry them. ;lol

Ranger update:

I just reached 1000km on it lol And new record for MPG, I got it to high 8's on the 401 until I hit some mild traffic and it went up to 9.6 on average. In heavy traffic or in the city, I'm usually up to 11.5... I installed a hitch, got the nerf bars on the way tonight. Next is a leveling kit for the front and bushwacker fender flares...

Trying to get used to the 2.3/10 speed. It isn't bad, it's just that it's a stupid 4 banger. I think I'd prefer a de-tuned 2.7 turbo 6 in there... I bet you a 5.0 Coyote in that truck would net the same MPG as the turbo 4, sound better and have plenty of power when needed. I mean it's a truck so I don't care if it sounds like an electric trimmer but I question the logic of this drivetrain. I think an electric would have made more sense, then an ecoboost V6 as "heavy" option for towing and payload.

I'm hoping to hit the trails this weekend, an easy trail nothing crazy and I doubt I'd even need 4x4 lol But time to get it muddy so close parkers can get their clothes all messed up.

[ZR]

I also think either of those two power plants would have been a better all around choice. Filled the Ram two Sundays ago before heading to Port Perry to visit my Pop's. Including moderate traffic north on Kennedy to Stouffville Rd n heavier traffic on the way home, truck showed an average for the trip of 9.2. No I wasn't in let's do what ever it took to increase mileage, just a leisurely drive doing 80 or 85km up there and back enjoying the day. My point, amazing what a big ass V8 can see for mileage when driven realistically, can only imagine what it would be capable of in a much lighter vehicle. Just for reference, my previous GM 5.3 would be lucky to be within 4 ltr/100 of that number driven the same. When towing, ltr/100 gap between the pair grows substantially.

[stangstevers]

Yup, I was impressed by the Coyote Mustang's mileage when not driving like a douche. I guess they put crap engines in to give an excuse to surcharge for the better option. My next daily driver (in 5 years) will be a full electric. I like the progress Ford is doing with the electric F150...
