Ya, that's me. 

It's awesome. 

So, I'm going to post some examples of other older fellas that have kids when they are older. A base to start some muses for later. 

My friend Darren, brought up

Al Pacino  https://people.com/parents/all-about-al-pacino-kids/

Al Pacino is officially a dad of four!

The 83-year-old actor welcomed a baby boy, Roman Pacino, with his girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, 29, in June 2023. The couple, who have been dating since April 2022, announced that they were expecting their first child together just weeks before their son's arrival.

Robert De Niro 

https://people.com/parents/all-about-robert-de-niro-kids/

Robert De Niro has six grown kids: Drena, Raphael, Julian, Aaron, Elliot and Helen. In April 2023, he welcomed his seventh child, Gia.

When asked about his six children, the Oscar winner corrected the interviewer and said: "Seven, actually."

"I just had a baby," he explained, though he didn't provide any further details about the little one. 

On the red carpet at the N.Y.C. premiere of his film About My Father, De Niro spoke to Extra about welcoming another child at the age of 79.

"I'm ok with it. I'm good with it," he said, adding that raising children "never gets easier" no matter what age you are.

Well, Benjamin David Lloyd Ross is my 6th child, born last year, his mom Megan is such a wonderfukl mom, wife, friend, I am a very blessed husband, father, grandfather, son, man.  Alex was my first son, born in 1990, his mom is Janet Heaslip, we met at Ag College.

Starting on December 1, eligible Canadians were allowed to apply for the Canada Dental Benefit.

Press Release : Applications for the new Canada Dental Benefit are now open! - Canada.ca

Dental expenditures  can be claimed back to October 1, 2022.

The Canada Dental Benefit will give eligible families up-front, direct payments of up to $650 a year per eligible child under 12 for two years (up to $1,300) to support the costs of dental care services.

This will be processed by CRA according to claim periods:

Period 1 is for dental care received between October 1 to June 30, 2023
Period 2 is for dental care received between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024
It is possible to qualify for an additional payment starting July 1, 2023 if costs are over $650 in one of the benefit periods. It is possible to receive the additional payment if you are not apply for both benefit periods. In this case the same benefit is the same as the period applied for.

Applications will be submitted through the CRA’s website, where the applicant’s identity will be verified, along with confirmation that their 2021 tax return has been filed.

In order to access the benefit, applicants must meet all of the following criteria:

Have a child or children under 12 as of December 1, 2022 and are currently receiving the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) for that child;
Gave an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000;
Their child does not have access to private dental insurance;
Filed their 2021 tax return; and
Have had or will have out of pocket expenses for their child’s dental care services incurred between October 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, for which the costs are not fully covered or reimbursed by another dental program provided by any level of government.

For more on how to apply visit here.  How to apply - Canada Dental Benefit - Canada.ca

How Much is the Canada Dental Benefit Payment?

More information: Depending on the family’s net income, a tax-free payment of $260, $390, or $650 is available for each eligible child. This interim dental benefit is only available for 2 periods. You can get a maximum of 2 payments for each eligible child.

Potential Audit Traps

Note that the child is considered to have dental coverage, and therefore will not qualify for the Canada Dental Benefit in the following cases; pay particular attention to point #3:

Some or all of the child's dental costs are covered by a private dental insurance plan of any kind
Either parents’ or caregiver’s employer provides a dental insurance plan for the child
The parents or someone else declined an employer provided dental insurance plan that would have covered the dental care for the child

Also it’s important to book an appointment for dental care within the Period 1 or 2 before applying and be parents/caregivers must be prepared to provide details about the dental provider, appointment dates and costs. The Canada Dental Benefit will need to be repaid if the dental care is not received within the period.

What services can be booked? Payments to the following professionals for services will qualify:

a dentist
a denturist
a dental hygienist

Kids and Money thoughts

The dead bird under the tree is the one that never learned how to fly, so are you a dead bird or are you going to learn how to fly.

Thoughts on allowances, work for kids, learning lessons , equate the value of money to time worked , time and money are interlinked
