I'm sure there is a        RM> monthly limit to go along with that daily limit ($3000) but        RM> so far I've been okay on that.              Yep, there are etransfer limits, but apparently there are no        limits for doing cash withdrawals in person:              https://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic/bank-investigator-fraud-scam-        9.6950754              The fellow was scammed out of $1.7M over 6 months.                      RM> ..and, more recently,        RM> CIBC changed my account to a senior's and they pay the fee for        RM> me on that one. The fee is still there, you get billed for it,        RM> and then they pay it for you for some reason, although RBC        RM> does that the same way.              The billing and then the removal is odd. I wonder why they        report it that way.                      RM> Possibly because I didn't OPEN any true senior's accounts,        RM> I just got older using my old account which always had a fee        RM> unless you kept a balance of $1500+ in it, as you mentioned.              CIBC was good to you then. I know people who were with        ScotiaBank for years and still got charged a plan fee even        *after* they turned 60+.                      RM> often. i.e.. My unsecured Line of Credit is at Prime +1.99%,        RM> rather than Prime plus 3.5% or more like it is for most people..              Mine is at 10.38%. I was sitting pretty at closer to 6% for        years before that.                      RM> So many Crypto plans have gone bankrupt the last few years they        RM> worry me a bit. My nephew has a bit of that but he went nuts        RM> buying silver instead. The return on silver has been over 100%        RM> over the past 2 years so he may have had a good idea, but I feel        RM> the best time to buy it was a couple of years ago, not now..              It's not crypto that can can particularly go bad, but the        exchanges. Coinbase seems to be one operating well.                      RM> Most of my investments have made 12% to 14% a year for the        RM> past few years, which is great compared to the past, but it's        RM> hard to say where things are going given the ongoing confusion        RM> with the American tariff war..              Sounds like you are doing well.              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: Stare into this point intently ->.<- (1:153/757.21)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 305 134/100 153/0       SEEN-BY: 153/143 148 149 151 153 757 6809 7715 154/30 110 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 275 300 307 317 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 705 240/1120 280/464 5003 291/111 292/854 8125       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 396/45 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/267 280 418 420 422 2744 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105       SEEN-BY: 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 153/757 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
