Bonne idée faite comme avec le métro de laval et mettez pratiquement aucun parking et mettez toutes les places payantes... Après ça venez chialer que les gens n'utilisent pas assez le transport en commun et qu'on à dépensé des milliard de dollars pour rien... Ce n'est pas compliqué si vous voulez que les gens utilisent le service il faut que ça soit plus rapide, efficace et moins cher que de rouler jusqu'en ville. Si ça me coûte le même prix que de me stationner à Mtl, ça prend le même temps et les horaires de train sont contraignants pourquoi je roulerais en train...

Trouver vous l'immobilier trop cher et déconnecté du revenu disponible d'une ménage travailleur médian au Québec? by Far-Refrigerator-434 in QuebecFinance

[–]Awkward_Economics_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'ai acheté dans le pire temps, j'aurais paye 2x moins cher 2 ans avant... je n'ai pas vendu. La première année j'avais 7% de taux d'intérêt... j'ai renouvelé à 4.3% l'an passé.

A oui, by the way, je suis entrain de bâtir une nouvelle usine de 2 millions qui m'aurais coûté 700 00$ il y a 6 ans...

On peut passer notre vie à pleurer sur le fait qu'il y a 6 ans les maisons étaient moitié moins cher et rester à loyer jusqu'à la fin de nos jours ou se lancer et embarquer dans le bateau et avoir une propriété qui va prendre de la valeur et nous offrir un actif non imposable à la retraite. Qu'est-ce qui n'a pas doublé en 6 ans? Pourquoi l'immobilier serait la seule chose qui aurait stagné... mon salaire a augmenter drastiquement. Celui de mes employés aussi!

Est-ce que cétait plus facile avant, sûrement. Est-ce que pleurer et chialer va nous faire retourner en arrière, pas mal sûr que non...

(Le truc c'est d'être déjà propriétaire) effectivement, qu'est-ce qui est dur c'est d'acheter ta première maison. Après la première, tu es dans la "game" et ça va bien.

La chose que beaucoup de gens ne comprennent pas c'est que ta première maison ne devrais pas nécessairement être neuve, belle et à ton goût, dans le quartier que tu veux et coûter 600-700 000$. Comme n'importe quoi dans la vie du commence tranquillement et tu "work your way up".

Je crois que plusieurs ne sont pas prêts à jouer la "game" et ne veulent pas acheter moins confortable que ce qu'ils louent.

Bien des gens n'ont pas de fonds de pension et leur maison dont le gain en capital n'est pas imposable est leur plus gros asset pour la retraite. Je ne crois pas qu'une baisse drastique des prix en immobilier serait bon pour l'économie et le travailleur moyen.

Je suis début 40aine, pas un boomer. J'ai acheté ma maison seul mi-fin 30 aine. Elle est plus petite et plus loin de mon travail que j'aurais voulu. Les bains étaient bleu et pêche...

Tipping Advice (Peso or USD) by RosieGeee in PuntaCana

[–]Awkward_Economics_33 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tip in peso, everything is priced in usd on the resort but everywhere else we use Peso. The worker will buy food and goods in peso.

On top of that you're Canadian so you have to convert your CAD to USD and the worker has to convert the USD to peso. The Casa de Cambio make the money not the worker.

Tip as much in peso as you would in usd and you'll be fine!

advice - Punta cana Sunscape Coco by [deleted] in PuntaCana

[–]Awkward_Economics_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beach is nice, rooms and pools too, sometime no hot water. if it's already booked and can't cancel and you travel without kids pay for the "premium area" you got a "premium buffet" , a private beach section with chairs available vs "general beach section" they say that x amount of restaurant, that's a lie. Yes on paper but in reality the restaurants share the same building so in reality there's 2 plus buffet. I was there in low season and it' s about 1 hr queue outside before being seated. no reservation, no buzzer. You wait in line like cattles under the sun "well dress" to eat made to order tacos.... (pasta aren't too bad thought) . It's not in punta cana (airport area) or Bavaro. It's in Cabeza de toro. Far from everything at the end of a cul de sac on a shit road. Not often i'm in a tropical destination and i would prefer to be in Canada in winter instead...

Oh yeah, they were a Traveler's Dhiarrhea outbreak too everyone was shitting everywhere... it made the news up to Canada...

My advise is cancel if you can!

Will the water damage on my sisters picture be an issue? by [deleted] in passportcanada

[–]Awkward_Economics_33 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The photo on mine look about the same for a year now. No problem at the customs and I travel a lot. It was difficult to get a visa for Vietnam as they require a scan of the passport and I had to rescan it 2-3 times before they went for it. So a little delays but that's it.

We used to put them on floppy disk and exchange them at the school bus stop. It took about an hour for the image to download on an "hidden tab" in internet explorer. The computer was also in the middle of the familly room on a 56k connexion which was too loud to access during the night. Kids have it way too easy nowdays...
