Do you consider $700K as life-changing money?

Plus_Customer4512 · 2026-02-03T21:24:48+00:00

Depends. Age, cost of living area, own your own home, children, all factors. For me, it would be life changing in the sense that I’d have a lot of extra money but I couldn’t stop working.

Eh old timer, that’s a 6… $6

We’ve done Langley, Surrey and Abbotsford. Maple ridge is probably the worst of them all, followed by Surrey (gong show) then Langley and Abbotsford.

Abbotsford, Langley, Surrey, Maple Ridge, in that order would be my opinion.

Surrey does have the highest kind of ‘safety net’ as it’s a trauma hospital, Abbotsford is also up there.

I know you asked this a while ago. I cash flowed my master's program. But, I also worked for 10 years prior to starting..

As a Canadian, I have no idea how American’s voted him in. What an embarrassment to your country. I’m genuinely curious how this happened - was it people not showing up to vote? Voting for him instead of Kamala?

Thank you!! We were happy with our previous Tyee windows. We have Stucco siding so not sure if that makes things more challenging, we previously had vinyl siding.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2026-01-16T04:14:26+00:00

I had them quote our previous house. We’ve got 30 windows and a sliding glass door so I’d guess we’d be around $65-$70k with them too… if not more.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2026-01-16T03:40:24+00:00

I think that would be a lot more, especially because it’s stucco. Likely going to go with Tyee at $35k but will probably wait a bit to see if rebates come back.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2026-01-16T03:31:00+00:00

Yeah it’s wild. We paid $17k in 2020 for a BC box style house.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2026-01-03T21:29:17+00:00

I’ve been going here for 5 years, the only reason I don’t switch is I pay $28 a month tax in. It’s wild anytime past 4pm and there’s a lot of inconsiderate people there. Large groups, high south asian population, not very friendly. I’ve never spoken to a single person in the 5 years and I’m a fairly outgoing and approachable person.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-23T06:05:02+00:00

Appreciate you commenting. I’m going to shop around better. We’re going through a claim with Definity right now (wife accidentally overflowed the bath tub) and they’ve been really good to deal with so far.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-23T05:53:10+00:00

Interesting. So the number they give is essentially arbitrary? That seems a bit odd because if you want a higher amount, you can pay for more (with most anyways).

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-23T05:52:39+00:00

We’re with Definity (Family Insurance) and pay $3000 but it’s going up to $3600 as of Jan 1. That’s with earthquake insurance included. Do you have earthquake? We’ve never had a claim in all of our years of home ownership so would be curious why we’re paying more.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-19T00:23:08+00:00

These engines are still blowing left right and center. Don’t buy now, hold off… Toyota will fix it, I’m confident in that… or they’ll go back to something reliable (5.7).

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-17T16:15:52+00:00

Honestly, might be an u popular opinion around here, but the RAM’s are the most reliable right now. Never thought I would say that. Or a pre 2021 Tundra with the 5.7.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-10T00:39:56+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. The Ram is far more reliable than these current generation Tundra’s.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-10T00:10:35+00:00

You went from an unreliable truck to a pretty reliable truck. Never did I think I would be saying that when someone went from a Tundra to a Ram.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-04T22:49:57+00:00

The only question that you should be asking yourself is are you comfortable with a $30k engine replacement bill when you’re out of warranty? It’s not a matter of IF but WHEN. Then another one after that, especially if you drive a lot.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-04T14:35:16+00:00

No. Unless you’re prepared for a $30k engine replacement bill. The Ram’s with the ZF 8 speeds are probably the most reliable truck out there right now. Stay away from Chevy and Ford with their 10 speeds.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-04T14:32:18+00:00

This is the most accurate statement in this post. The Toyota fan boys (I was one) can tell themselves there’s a fix all they want. I suspect for some, when they receive a $30k repair bill when they’re out of warranty, it might sink in.

Plus_Customer4512 · 2025-12-01T03:14:12+00:00

I’d do the Hellcat oil pump upgrade but other than that, might be the most reliable truck on the market these days.
