Have you got a post where you share with us how you find the "extra income" ops? I am talking about your web services: is it all referral? Or do you have a place you go to put in options on jobs?

Give Me Back My Five Bucks : Book Review: The RESP Book by Mike Holman

Thu, 18 Nov 2010 09:11:50 +0000

I asked the same questions over at Mike's place and he said the book is something I need not get involved with... so randomly ignore my comments ;) It would appear that RESPs are only good for residents of Canada. Once we move back I'll have to then consider grabbing the book. My recent post How to buy a Home updated Fri Jun 11 2010 2-26 pm CDT

Give Me Back My Five Bucks : Book Review: The RESP Book by Mike Holman

Ok, I have a question: I am a Canadian living abroad and all my kids are Canadian. So what would interest me is this: Does the book go into any kind of detail about this type of scenario or do you have to be residing in Canada to set up RESPs? (So for me, questions like this would be interesting to know if the book addresses: Can I set up ONE RESP per child with my Canadian funds? Do I have to have an income in Canada to do this? I have only got income from interest...) If I happen to be "randomly chosen", I do have a Canadian address but I would only be interested in the book if it is relevant to the topic of expats, so if the book does NOT deal with that (or RESPs are not allowed to expats), then please choose someone else randomly :) .

Give Me Back My Five Bucks : Health Spending Account

Ok, then I would be ok with it (perhaps, who sits in the health spending account?) -- I realize that living in Germany has widened my views for propaganda and spies... lots of funky stuff going down here...

I would actually never want my employer to know what medication/perscriptions I take... BC is non of their business. Do they get these kinds of details or just an untargeted receipt? (Have no idea how that would work but I just think your employee has no business knowing what you take. That would be way beyond my comfort zone.)

Give Me Back My Five Bucks : Planning a trip to NYC

I want to encourage you to pick up the connection on facebook with your college friends... I was back in Ontario (from Europe) in October 2009 and connected with a highschool friend I had not seen or spoken to or facebooked with for 20 years! She agreed to drive up to Ottawa from Toronto the morning after I landed and we bunked up with anther girlfriend from school (who I had seen two years earlier, but the facebook friend from Toronto had not spoken with her in about 15 years)... We had a lovely time. You may not want to bunk up with them, but really, you are going to *be there*... and all I can say is that I had a lovely time and am more connected with many people now for the time I had last fall.

You have given me an idea. I wonder how easy it is to sell books on Amazon.de (the German site)? I think I am going to check that out! Love the new layout and new home! (I bet you are really liking the backend of wp more than blogger... I remember way back when you used to have those bubble like measure bars on the side of your blogspot blog and thinking: so tech savvy to get those embeded and hanging out at blogspot?)(Ok, there are seo and adsense advantages over the wp.com blogs...)
