My Ralph Bucks came in the mail today...all $400.00 of them...Soon it will be going Buck to the government...Tax time is close...But For Now Ralph is buying me beer and Popcorn ( Movie night/dinner with the girl Friend ) and bills, bills bills, Thier is no free money, but 10.00 will buy me a few 649 Tickets...

 

Yeah I'm still waiting for my Ralph Buck's. Hopefully it comes in right away and I can get my Xcal2 on order.

 

by tuesday you should have your Ralp bucks...good luck with the Xcal2...I spend enough $$$$$$$$$ on my truck.

 

Got a little one due in June, our first one , so before I go and blow the cash on my stang, we're gonna put the $800 towards starting a college fund

 

I have no kids, but I herad on the news if you were to invest the 400.00 in a RESP, Alberta Government will give you $80.00, so thiers a extra $160.00.

Even paying down credit card debit is wise, But I'm not telling anyone how live their lives...only have to pay 121.00 on Febs truck payment thanks to Ralph, but money never is really free..

 

Sweet, never heard that before, will definitely look into that. Do you know if the AB government is still giving a $500 college fund for newborns, or was that just a one time thing awhile back?

 

I don't know....AB Government web site should have info...

 

FYI, just looked into it, any newborn born after 2005 is eligible for the $500 RESP grant. Thats a grand total of $1460 from the AB government for the little one. Thats a pretty good start, and I never had to directly invest anything.

 

I thought the newborn thing was only for 2005 (centennial) babies?

the website says 2005 and after

 

cyclone vampire, do you remember where you heard this? I can't find any info on the website about it, only the $500 grant for newborns, was it maybe an incentive from a bank or something?
