I work a lot and have a busy social life. Just because I don't have kids, doesn't mean I'm not busy. Don't make unfounded judgements.
 
Define a lot.

I put in 10+ hours 7 days a week and would work more if I had the time.

This isn't Canada Plom.

My healthcare expenditures alone are a thousand dollars a month.
 
Healthcare is expensive. But gas is only $3 a gallon and you can eat fast food for $5. It evens out at the end.

Canada child tax benefit (CCTB)
The Canada child tax benefit is a tax-free monthly payment made to eligible families to help them with the cost of raising children under age 18.

Ontario Sales Tax Credit
The Ontario Sales Tax Credit helps low- to moderate-income individuals, 19 years of age and older, and families, with the sales tax they pay.
You could get up to $273 for each member of your family.

Starting July 2012, the Ontario Sales Tax Credit will be paid monthly as part of the Ontario Trillium Benefit instead of quarterly.
Benefit payments for the period starting July 2012 through June 2013 will be based on information in your 2011 personal income tax return.
Eligible individuals and families will receive the quarterly 2011-12 benefit year payments based on their 2010 personal income tax returns. Refer to the payment schedule.

GST/HST Credit
The GST/HST Credit program issues payments to Canadians with low and modest incomes to help offset all or part of the GST/HST they pay on the purchase of goods and services. The Canada Revenue Agency Web site provides information on application procedures, eligibility, payment of the GST/HST credit and procedures to follow in case of overpayment.

The GST/HST credit is issued four times a year: January, April, July and October (generally the fifth day of the month). For specific dates, visit the Canada child tax benefit (CCTB) page on the Canada Revenue Agency Web site.

You need to be means tested for most of that stuff Plommay which wouldn't apply to duriot. "eligible" "low to moderate". Can't compare this stuff. I only know this because it came up in my court case. If you make a normal salary you're not eligible for much of anything (unlike Australia).

Canada child tax benefit (CCTB)
$117.08 per month for each child under 18 years of age

"We reduce the basic benefit if your adjusted family net income is more than $42,707. For families with one child, the reduction is 2% of the amount of adjusted family net income that is more than $42,707. For families with two or more children, the reduction is 4% of the amount of adjusted family net income that is more than $42,707."

So the benefit may be reduced but most families will receive it.


Automated Benefits Application
The Automated Benefits Application (ABA) is a joint partnership between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the Vital Statistics Agency (VSA) of the participating province/territory. Upon consent, the provincial/territorial VSA registering the birth will send the applicant's registration information over a secure communication network to the CRA. The CRA will then determine if the applicant is eligible for benefits.

WITB - Working Income Tax Benefit

The Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) is a refundable tax credit intended to provide tax relief for eligible working low-income individuals and families who are already in the workforce and to encourage other Canadians to enter the workforce.
You can claim the WITB on line 453 of your Income Tax and Benefit Return if your working income is over $3,000, and you meet all the eligibility criteria.

2. Are you eligible for the WITB?
You are eligible for the WITB if:

  • You are 19 years of age or older on December 31[SUP]st[/SUP]; and
  • You are a resident of Canada for income tax purposes throughout the year.
Exception
If you are under 19 years of age, you may still be eligible for the WITB, if you have a spouse or common-law partner or an eligible dependant on December 31[SUP]st[/SUP].

You are not eligible for the WITB if:
  • You do not have an eligible dependant and are enrolled as a full-time student at a designated educational institution for more than 13 weeks in the year;
  • You are confined to a prison or similar institution for a period of 90 days or more in the year; or
  • You do not have to pay tax in Canada because you are an officer or servant of another country, such as a diplomat, or a family member or employee of such person.
Example
Jennie is 23 years old and has a 3-year-old daughter. She attended university full-time in 2010. Even though she was enrolled as a full-time student at a designated educational institution for more than 13 weeks in 2010, she is still eligible for WITB since she has an eligible dependant.

congrats you win the Busy Bragger award of the day.
 
A brag is:

Sounds more like a question than a brag.


How many trips to Walmart does it take to get paid $100k via Western union?
 

What is that sovereign man site about rogue? Looks interesting.

It was actually a woman who told me about two of the coolest sites I have used in the past year, pulse and clipboard. I think women read alot more on kindle and pads and are alot better at spotting good design, pulse and clipboard have so much better interfaces than google reader. Perfect for a pad. I mainly use these two sites now and my email, you can take all your bookmarks and turn them into something like reading a daily newspaper or magazine with all your bookmarks and most visited sites.

Pulse is a news reader like google reader and is a news and rss feed aggregator, you put in all your newspapers and most websites you visit often and it arranges them in an easy to read tile interface with the daily news but you can put up regular web sites as well. Beautiful to look at on a pad but but I use it on my desktop to check out most of my bookmarks like a magazine. Pretty easy to transfer most of your bookmarks.

Pulse-News-Reader-app.png


My friend told me about clipboard, she said it was alot like a site she uses called "pinterest", clipboard is alot more than a news reader, you cant get the feeds like pulse but it you can clip any sort of image from any site and is available for almost any site unlike pulse. I use it for stuff I see on ebay and alot of people use it for recipes, flight deals,etc. I use it the same way I use pulse, as a way to arrange all my bookmarks to read them like a daily style newspaper/magazine. Between the two you save a ton of time on the internet wasting time getting sidetracked sludging through some crap on huffington post or cramming your mail box full with links and stuff to remember.

I have both pulse and clipboard set up sort of like these examples

I have my bookmarks for bbc, time asia, takis mag, washington post etc, in the news section
Stock stuff in that section

At my age , my porn stuff is primarily real estate porn and looking up awesome pads in the architecture blogs or on places like curbed or just reading one of those luxury blogs like luxuo http://www.luxuo.com/ or http://www.luxury-insider.com/.

food porn http://dc.eater.com/

Horse racing stuff in one section, boating stuff in one section, in tennis section I have tons, this is one of the best tennis sites on the internet http://heavytopspin.com/. Pulse and Clipboard will save you tons of time on the internet
