Wishing all of you specially Peter and those who are always there to answer questions and benefit others in our small online community a very happy belated full of health and wealth new year.

Hopefully we will see higher interest rates in 2019. Dreaming of 5%.

Best of best to you and your loved ones.

Remember that money shouldn't be the source of happiness. How to use the money should.

That's nice, thank you save to retire! Happy New Year to you too.
I will also be dreaming of 5 percent returns in 2019.

Our 2018 income from interest has increased 193% over what it was when I joined the forum, and is poised for a significant jump next year. Could have been even better if I'd been more aggressive.
Many thanks to those who have helped make this possible by your positive contributions.

A toast:
Whappy Whealthie Woo-Hoo-Noo-Year!

Thanks to BoC and this forum my 2018 interest income is 1.5 times higher than two years ago, in 2016.
This is with some of my multi-year GICs with than very attractive 1% interest rate still not matured.

If Savings/1yr GIC rate is 4% by the end of 2019, I'll hit my income retirement goal and with 5% I'll have comfortable retirement on interest income alone.
I will, too, be dreaming of 5% returns by the end of 2019.

Thanks to forum owner and forum participants for their useful and helpful input to this forum, and happy New Year!

I shall lift a wee dram to the intrepid Peter tonight in thanks. Much like others here this forum has contributed to the financial security of my family. He has much to be proud of.

Cheers to all.
