@CGWM_Muhs @AaronHectorCFP Inflation adjustments on OAS since 1973! https://t.co/4r4Nq2VNlt

[Alexandra Macqueen, CFP® @MoneyGal]

@JohnPasalis @dima_nomad In 1973, inflation indexing for OAS was adjusted to quarterly (from annually) – despite "considerable administrative difficulties" and "significant cost" – out of concern that "unprecedented" inflation was eroding the standard of living for seniors

@MarkMcGrathCFP @5L4P57R4 Just this "one thing" has dramatically reshaped the path to retirement planning ... I am 56 with two kids at home (ages 19 and 22) 🐤🐤 This is not the life my mom had!

@BenRabidoux There was a proposal to tax PRs, with a basic exemption, when taxation of cap gains was first introduced. https://t.co/dQVnHkpk5I

[Alexandra Macqueen, CFP® @MoneyGal]

Reviewing origins of the principal residence exemption. 1969 White Paper: "Generally, capital gains on the sale of homes would not be taxed . . . by providing that when a taxpayer sells his principal residence only the profit in excess of $1,000/year of occupancy would be taxed"

@LizSimmie @AravindSitham My point here is "waitlist of 300" may be essentially meaningless. There may be 300 parents who, at one time, put their names forward for spaces. Those families mostly found other solutions & many of the kids may have aged out. There are waitlists, but they are unquantifiable

[Alexandra Macqueen, CFP® @MoneyGal]

@LizSimmie @AravindSitham Having been a daycare treasurer for 4 years I can tell you the waitlists are NOT managed; no incentive. When you can fill any spot with the desperate parent who calls you on the same day someone announces their kid's departure, no one is going back to the binder full of names

@LizSimmie @AravindSitham Plus the city subsidy was tiered; it wasn't all-or-nothing like (I think?) the $10/day spaces are
