Lots to unpack here. This is the big thing at the moment and I’d like to know what I can. Would you be willing to talk on the phone at some point? I’ve been going through something hard and I don’t want to cry about it, but I think it would help a lot if someone smart and passionate in a subject I know little about ranted at me. Not like a formal interview, just a talk
If I’m being honest, for some reason I have this aversion to voice chats with strangers from social media sites, heh. It’s totally nonsensical in some ways, as I’m fine chatting with people in games, and/or meeting people in real life, but for some reason ¯(ツ)/¯.
If you do have questions about these sorts of things though, and are in Canada, I’d suggest reaching out to your financial institution a bit and peppering them with some questions. At the very least, you’d get a sense of how they’re looking at the situation, and whether you felt like they were putting in appropriate due diligence to safeguard your interests. If the note about going through something hard was more in relation to wanting a distraction to take your mind off other things, I can empathize, but I’m also so terribly awkward on phone calls that it’d prolly end up doing more harm than good. I’d also likely pester you to try and find out what the ‘something hard’ was that you’re going through, in a very tactless fashion, as I’m really not all that good with that sorta thing.
Not a problem. I was just thinking you’re an interesting person with a fount of information. Nothing wrong with not wanting to chat with a stranger. I’ll be around if you change your mind but no pressure ofc.
I’m in the US but I’ve been looking into educating myself more about financial institutions and that’s why I was so curious. Plus you sounded really well-informed and I’m very close to Canada geographically and thinking about moving there so I need to learn all I can before I make that decision.
