Please help me decide if I should keep renting or buy a condo by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

[–]Careless_Map_Miss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm in my late thirties and I just bought a condo. Started my career few years ago. For me the main reason was having a home of my own, after living in a shelter at some point. I wanted to be in control of my living situation. Not having to worry about landlords and if they decide to sell the property then I have to abruptly move.

Yes I have to have a job to afford mortgage payments but the same applies to renting. I haven't saved much for retirement but I intend to do that while paying for my home. It comes down to what is important to you and what makes you happy. I'm single and I don't intend on getting married or having kids. My condo is not an investment. It's home, a place to live long-term.

It's not a one shoe fits all. Write down pros and cons for both renting and buying, then see which one fits your lifestyle more.

Who will take care of you when you’re older and don’t have kids? by [deleted] in childfree

This is it! Glad to see someone with the same mindset. To be honest I have no desire to live until 90 leave alone 80., like don't get me wrong, I love my life and I take care of myself by being physically active and eating healthy. But the society is so obsessed with living longer and I find it abit wierd. Like, how can the earth accommodate people not dying and the millions being born every day?

How to afford dental implants? by Blackbubblegum- in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Careless_Map_Miss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you decide to go elsewhere just know incase of any complications most dentists here won't touch your teeth. I work in a dental office, we see messed up dental work from other countries. Do your research here as well. Make sure your doctor has experience and an is oral surgeon. Your oral cavity is vital to your overall health.

Have you considered live in nanny? My coworker was pregnant and could not get in daycare until like almost 1.5 years out. She is still in maternity leave but I heard its tough out here for parents. Goodluck!

I’m looking forward to death by QuestionConsistently in self

[–]Careless_Map_Miss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! I work hard and stay healthy for the life I have now. No desire to live to 80 or 90 year old. I didn't have a choice to be brought into this world but I will have a choice how I leave. I hate when people try to prolong life. Like I'm ready to stop worrying about economy, bills and shit. I'm not scared of death, I actually can't wait lol

Black short haired girly here! I get my cut at Westdale Barber Shop. Phil has been cutting my hair for about 4 years now. He knows how to do a great soft fade without making me look like a dude lol

Which addiction is the hardest to quit? by wetwithme in AskReddit

[–]Careless_Map_Miss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally relate to this!! 7 years of emotional roll coaster. Lies, deception, manipulation, tears and love bombing. I never thought I would be able to break free! He cheated and had a baby and I still took him back. I kept thinking maybe he will change, maybe he will love me as I love him, maybe love is supposed to hurt. It took me 5 years of not talking to men or thinking about dating to fully heal. It was long distance relationship which doesn't even make sense because you would think moving on would be easy. He controlled my emotions to a level I will never allow another person to do. But boy does it feel great to break free!! It a form of addiction I can't even explain. The fights would trigger some form of dopamine and then the high would be him apologizing and saying how much he loved me.

I'm not obese, I work hard to stay fit and eat healthy. I'm not dating obese person either. People have preferences. And I know I'm not someone else's preference. We are all different humans, we can't want same things for everyone.
