MSE Credit Club savings and investments income

Options
Hello,

Ref:- MSE Credit Club savings and investments income.

Can anyone advise why there doesn't seem to be anywhere to add income from savings and investments to my annual income?

Thanks

    The CRA's do not consider it (and MSE is just acting as an aggregator), plus I don't think it would be appropriate to speculate on future investment returns in the context of assessing someones credit worthiness.

    Whenever I applied for a card they always ask income + interest from savers as part of your income, investments logically are excluded as they could tank in a matter of minutes

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Just to be clear, it should be possible to recognise income from savings (i.e. interest) but not capital withdrawals, if that's what you're referring to.

    After having setup the account, every time I login it asks me to confirm certain details like gender (I think), residential status and a few others. As part of this it asks if I have an income from savings or investments. I have never explored this so don't know any more. But suggests there might be places to enter this information.
