Nice thread! I have always been into cars. The first car I purchased after graduating was a E36 318i. Best fun I had with it was doing four wheel slides into the company parking lot every morning for work…. then it was all downhill from the day on. I guess the second part helped with the...

We used to live around NYC and our whole family really enjoyed the dinosaur display at the Museum of Natural History (5th floor IIRC?). It's a great (and free) museum that spans an entire city block. I can't believe no one has mentioned getting a New York Slice. Been away for so long and I...

Yep.. I hear you. I'm too [-]busy[/-] lazy to go through all the reports of the 20 odd companies I'm holding now. I suppose when I semi-retire, then this could become one of my jobs. Sounds like you're already doing mighty fine with just the ETF portfolio. I wouldn't fret about it if I...

Thank you all for your replies. The move to Toronto is half motivated by getting the kids closer to the grandparents. We both want them to grow up having closer ties to the extended families. We figured, since the elder daughter will be entering middle school next year, that this is going to...

Hi everyone: I've been lurking these forums for a while. Guess it's time to do a formal introduction. My wife and I are both in our early 40s. We've been planning a move to the Toronto area for a couple of years now. A major part of the plan finally became reality: we found a buyer for our...
