ODSP & RDSP Services that Clash ?
Do the ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Plan) and RDSPs complement each other or do they clash? They work together but in a tightly controlled way.
Fall Back, Farewell PC Financial, and #MoneyTalk
This Saturday night you will be turning your clocks back an hour, giving yourself an extra hour sleep. For me it will simply mean going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark, I could live without fall back.
PC Financial the bank is now a thing of the past. I updated my iPhone and my PC Financial app suddenly got updated to a Simplii application. As with all new things there seem to have been a few glitches with the new system. Hopefully those will be ironed out soon. My PC Mastercard will still go on, collecting PC Points, but now my accounts are with Simplii? For now, I seem to have too many different bank accounts these days, diversity is one thing, but this is madness.
TD has had problems with their e-transfers, which they think is fixed, but their customers are not so sure. I have certainly seen messages on the TD site warning of these issues, let us hope they are all remedied soon.
My Recent Writings
Inflation continues to run at low levels, as I wrote about in Inflation Still Under 2 Pct (for now). Maybe inflation is a thing from the past? Somehow, I doubt it, but anything is possible, I suppose.
I do enjoy the series Letterkenny which you can watch on Crave, and with that in mind, I paraphrased Wayne with Who Green-Lit this Tom-Foolery ? I am using that turn of phrase more and more these days, much to the chagrin of Mrs. C8j.
Doug Hoyes kindly let me back on his Podcast (after the huge ratings of the last one), to talk about RDSPs. I enjoyed being there, but I did mis-speak on a couple of points, so I attempted to fix this with RDSP Clarifications and Podcasts. I will be writing more about the RDSP in the next few weeks.
When I wrote Movember, My Story, I wasn’t sure I was going to publish it. Frankly, it shows what an idiot I am, but if it helps anyone, it has done what I hope.
Micro Blogging on Finance
While Gail Vaz-Oxlade may have stopped writing on-line her tweets are still a treat (if a bit NSFW sometimes). Good advice if your bank is giving you a hard time.
Movember, My Story
Big Cajun Man shares his experience with a severe bladder issue with the aim to raise awareness about Men’s Health issues during Movember (Men’s Health Awareness month in November). Despite experiencing various symptoms such as inability to urinate and severe pain, he initially ignored them which led to emergency hospitalization and a catheter placement. Diagnosis revealed his prostate had grown and obstructed his urethra, leading to a Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP). The author emphasizes the importance of early intervention in health issues, regular doctor visits, and being proactive about one’s health.
RDSP Clarifications and Podcasts
I was on a podcast and while my answers were mostly correct, these RDSP clarifications are needed to be more precise in my answers.
Who Green-Lit this Tom-Foolery?
Who green-lit this tom-fuckery is a great expression from Letterkenny problems, but it is so useful in the world of financial skullduggery as well.
