Nice! I've only had the Neisson from that lineup - that one made me more interested to dive a bit more into other agricole rhum.

There should be a pretty decent selection of rums in France (wish I had been into rums when I visited years ago on vacation).

Looks like a nice hot sauce too!

Any reason why you didn't put your factor (US listed) ETFs in your RRSP? I think that is the preferred placement for tax treatment, and also simplicity when you have to withdraw.

Why reduced Canadian exposure? A bit more home country / ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ bias has portfolio advantages.

I still have yet to jump on Avantis factor funds, but have been considering them. My hesitation is the additional complexity, cost, and risk may not be worth the slight improvement, and the timeframe to realize the factor benefits can be very long (so you have to be a convicted and very patient investor).

Looks like a solid, low cost, rational long-term portfolio ๐Ÿ‘

At these rates, the guaranteed after-tax return of paying down your mortgage looks pretty good versus uncertain stock market returns (and elevated equity valuations, which should lower expected equity returns). Curious if anyone here is focusing on paying off the mortgage more lately vs investing? Is focusing on the mortgage illogical over the long term?

This is one way to find communities. Hopefully connecting the Fediverse becomes a little simpler soon...

Just got my statement. May do the responsible choice and put the cash in my RRSP. What are you guys (or gals) doing with your backpay?

Not my chart (copied from reddit as I found it was a good overview) - feel free to take a crack at some new charts if you're up to it! Agreed, FHSA should be considered.

1423 ApS Jamaica 2020 Selection Cavavin Belval

๐Ÿ"Barbecued pineapple atop vanilla & ginger mint ice cream"๐Ÿฆ

Here's a Hampden ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ rum, marque with a short 28 month continental virgin oak cask maturation. Coming in at 57% ABV.

On the nose: classic Hampden with grilled pineapple, orange zest, lime, vanilla, bubblegum, mango, caramel, clove, slight solvent & olive brine. With water: more vanilla, sea water, floral, perfume, honey.

The palate: pineapple juice, ginger, lime, mint, vanilla, bubblegum, cinnamon. Water brings more cream, less heat and a nicer balance.

The finish is mint, vanilla, slight oak, pepper. No change with water.

Overall this is a touch hot, but still brings classic Hampden notes, slightly improving with some water.

7/10

How to own a vending machine? How to procurethe machine & the products? Single-use laundry detergent/ softener packs for a laundromat I'm authorized to put a vending machine into. in c/[email protected]

I was curious about it once when I was considering "hustles". One of the biggest issues may be finding a high-traffic location where you are allowed to operate a vending machine. But if a place could use one and will let you operate for cheap/free, you could give it a shot. One learns a lot from trying. Odds are the work & issues may make it tougher than it seems on the surface (may not be as passive as you think).
