Chartered Accountant moonlightling as a Panhandler living bohemianly?
Finally after getting a CA designation, with a 70,000K pa income, I want to know from the people here how would you view such a person if they want to just bank that money and buy BMO Monthly Income Fund, or TD Resources, TD Dividend Growth, etc and live off panhandling as a guitar muscian part time during one's free time? Go to the food bank, eat at various soup kitchens, sikh temples, and couch surf living with beatnicks on commercial drive having a double life. You might even drink free Starbucks Coffee using a registered card, that you never pay for so you don't even look like a cheapskate in front of your accounting collegues, and yet, you live your social life in a bohemian manner out of fashion, since you know how to play the guitar. You could even argue that panhandling income is not taxable since they are "gifts". You might even keep one's security guard job part time and do the accounting stuff that you didn't finish at the office on site. And of course, your bohemian friends only know you as a part time night security guard who can't get enough hours, and do not know about your high profile job, and your workmates believe that you live with your mother so you are financially in a decent position when in reality you live on your own and living in dire poverty. Would you say it is a Clark Kent/Superman type of live or what?
