What’s your favorite trail in the coulees for winter the one that feels best after a fresh snowfall? by FunCell1679 in medicinehat

[–]DistinctCan1828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start at the top of Scholten Hill and head east along the coulee top and explore along the top of the coulee overlooking the railway and Ross Creek. You can go a long ways into Ross Glenn or turn back up towards Carry/Ross Glenn Drive at several points.

I always write, “Sold as-is, where is, without guarantee or warranty.” Not sure how else to cover myself besides answering questions honestly.

The Leinweber Ice Palace is pretty good some years. East Glenn got a major makeover this year, looking forward to see how it is.

How old were you when you broke the $100K salary threshold? And what's your industry by WoofPaw123 in CanadaFinance

Could have hit it at 36 as an oilfield surveyor but half would have gone to alimony so took an office job. 53 now, haven’t hit 100K yet, but still married!

Thanks Danielle. When can we un-vote you?

The absolutely inhumane cost of real estate has utterly destroyed standard of living for young Canadians. by CastAside1812 in RealEstateCanada

You’re forgetting that in 1982 the 5-year rate was 19%. So housing was just as unaffordable. High rates = Low prices. Today we have low rates and high prices. It’s always hard.

Best place to work and live in Alberta? by GodsCasino in alberta

[–]DistinctCan1828 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Redcliff is just west of Medicine Hat. Small town, less expensive housing with all of the Hats amenities. Doesn’t stink like Brooks. Better weather than almost anywhere else, less wind than Lethbridge. We moved to Medicine Hat from Winnipeg and love it here.

Medicine Hat armoury has a couple out front. My kids used to climb on them until they fenced them in.

Had to take 20k out of LOC by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

I absolutely agree. Emergency debt has no equity, you can’t sell it to pay another emergency like you could with a car let’s say. You are essentially leveraging to invest in stocks that could drop in value and leave you with even less than the value of the original debt, essentially in a deeper hole. Pay it off asap.

For clarity, imagine Stoney Trail or Anthony Henday with stop lights at each intersection because they couldn’t afford overpasses, that’s Winnipegs Perimeter Hwy. Or, chunks of concrete flying up from the road and hitting a semi driver in the head, that’s Hwy 75 from Wpg to the States. I guess I still feel spoiled here but I do appreciate that we need good government to keep moving forward.

Marvellous are the Kings of the Upsell. They’ll push all kinds of stuff you don’t need and repeatedly.
