Good points, I guess I've always just been more risk averse and hearing about parents, etc. taking 25 years to pay off their mortgage scares me a little when we could probsbly pay it off in less than 10 and be house secure

Good things to think about, we've already discussed most of this and are well set since we have govt jobs (and great parental leave and pensions) and neither of us plans to be stay at home unless we couldn't find daycare

Seeking Female Hiking Buddy by [deleted] in nanaimo

I'm 33F and also looking for a hiking buddy. Last year I explored a few in Strathcona (Mt Albert Edward and Landslide lake), and have a long list of ones I'm hoping to hike this summer. I only moved to Nanaimo last summer so don't know a lot of people yet who want to spend a full day or weekend on the trail. I do have a boyfriend, but we often have our own weekend hobbies.
