No I'd have to put $1500 in a chequing account to save the $48 in fees.

I tweeted to BMO told them I was mad. They called me, deposited $48 in my account to cover the fees.

I'm happy for a year now.

^^ okay, well even $1,500 sitting in an account to save $48 in fees is like a 3% return on that money. Pretty good for cash.

But if you can get them to waive the fees entirely, that's obviously best.

Yeah but it's not really 3%. You can get 10% dividend on a stock and then pay the fee instead. But the free money was great.

It doesn't get much more risk-free than cash in the bank.

Any stock that pays a dividend of 10% is going to have a fair bit of risk attached to it, so the two aren't really comparable.

Eit pretty much zero risk

But yeah sure if they actually gave it I would take it.

A friend called me first thing this morning and said he was on his way to buy a new tractor and would be at my house in 10 min to pick me up.

He ending up buying one of these...

They have a 0% finance offer, but he got almost $3k off for paying cash.

Mine falls under the happy wife, happy life category. Our old one has a cracked shell, about 20 years old, and the wife was starting to get whiny, so new hot yub. I'm in it a handful of times a year.

Just sold my subwoofer. While I will miss it I'm looking forward to finding a pair of subs to replace it.

Having one of those sh!tty days where I'm missing by Dad a ton. Even though it's been about 9 months since he's passed on, most days for me still seem a little surreal and I have a hard time accepting that I'll no longer see him or talk to him ever again. I miss him dearly as we were extremely close and I feel like I'm no longer the same person anymore. Just seems like a huge void in my life now. Apologies, not the most positive post, but it is what it is.

The very last picture that I have of me and my Dad, which was taken on my birthday 3 weeks before he died last year. I feel extremely honoured and proud to call him my Father and can only hope that I do a tenth of the job with my own Son as he did with me.

Sadly I've been exactly the same way for the last couple of weeks especially the part in bold. Didn't help that it was Dad's bday last Friday. Don't think I did anything for two days.

Stay strong my friend.

Ironically enough Derek, my Dad's birthday was on the 8th of this month so I know exactly what you mean. My daughter's birthday is on the 6th so we always had a joint b-day for them both. Just wasn't the same this year. My Dad's death is something that I don't think I'll ever recover from.

Its very bizarre how two people that have never met yet our Dad's bday and dday are so close together. As to recovering from this....I don't think you ever do but you just learn how to live with it better.

Next month I get to go to a special memorial for my brother (and others) then bury him in June on the same day we buried Dad. For May it would have been Grandma's bday. Maybe in July I might feel better. $:-\$

Can't argue that even if you didn't like the answers. Fack was 2014 a shitty year for many of us.

Strangely enough Rob, I do as well. I bounced virtually everything off of my Dad, even though sometimes I knew he had zero experience in what I was asking (ie. brewery stuff). Just something comforting about asking him always helped, even though he always didn't have an actual answer.
