33% match is a pretty good discount!

I never really thought of it that way … good point.

I totally agree with that last part of the post… the media leads people (generally under-informed people) to unwarranted heights and complete doldrums based on nothing more than minor fluctuations and rumors. If people want insurance for their general mental well-being, they would probably do better to ignore the financial media pundits altogether!

Cool … problem is, it’s not so much a discount .. I choose a percentage of my gross (1-10%) to spend… the company matches 25-50% of that (depending on length of participation in the plan).. and once a month, buys shares at market price. I’m currently getting a 33% match.

Where I’m currently stuck — my ‘pension adjustment’ is such that my RRSP contribution limit is ridiculously small … and as much as I’ve been reading PF blogs non-stop for ages now, I’m not groovy enough to know exactly what to do with my investible bux!

BASS: I’d be tempted to just buy them (at the employee discount), then sell them as soon as you’re able (to diversify). Get the benefit of the employee pricing without putting all your eggs in one basket.

Mike: Great collection of advice!
