Re: Tangerine [how to talk to a human]

Thanks bylo etc. I did manage to get right through Monday am, and as an added bonus I talked to someone in a common language.

Re: High interest savings, GICs and MMFs (2023)

We have a short term GIC maturing tomorrow. The best offer Tangerine could give me was 3.25 either for a savings acct. or a short term GIC again - Hello Motive.

Re: Good and/or Underrated Movies and TV shows

I'm assuming 1923 is only available on Paramount+ at this time. Presently subscribing to Netflix and Prime. Don't want any more streaming services at this time. But...

Re: Son's RRSP question

Thanks to all above. Son is mid fifties so a 5 to ten year horizon. I'm leaning a bit towards VGRO, but will consider it further.

Son's RRSP question

I finally got my (no investment experience) son to get cracking on his RRSP. He has opened a fairly sizable RRSP account at Questrade and is anxious to populate it.
I have some ideas and appreciate thoughts. He has $25,000 to start and I'm thinking either 15 or 20 thousand to Vanguard's VSP or VGRO and the remainder in VDY for a little more Canadian exposure.
VBAL is a consideration, but I feel he is too young to hold 40% in bonds when he has sufficient
funds in Gic's. Thoughts?
Added, This will be a long term hold.

RBC discount broker

I have finally talked my son into opening an account at a discount broker for his future RRSP
contributions. He is with RBC so that might be the easiest for him.Question: I have recommended XBAL for him, but wonder if this might not be available down the road if banks only sell their in house products. I would like him to move in slowly with no interuptions. Is this going to be possible?

Re: Slightly luxurious car recommendations

2 weeks ago I purchased a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. I traded in a 2018 SUV. The Sonata was close to being the only new vehicle in town, but I'm overly pleased with the purchase. It has a 1.6l turbo with all the extras. Probably the best looking car I've owned. Tesla eat your heart out
