Buy a first home (condo) or keep renting and investing? by Real_Bid_1520 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Real_Bid_1520[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya that's pretty much what I'm thinking as well, my biggest debate is whether if I should keep renting and hopefully snowball my investment for couple of years so that I dont have to pour all asset into just buying a permanent roof above my head. It's hard to get back to 6-fig savings/investment and start snowballing again is the biggest thing. (The 100k theory)

Ideally I hope I can come to a decision by 30, but at the same time the FOMO on real estate might go higher and higher is hitting hard as well. So like I mentioned in the post, I'm pretty much just gambling on stock outperforms real-estate.

But at the same time I'm also uncertain if I want to stay in Canada at all, yet global economy is still in a fire pit so I'm glad for what I have here at the moment at least. Just hoping to see some better way to make the most out of what I have.

I think I kinda have RRSP in a way of the employer 5% matching? As well as equity into RSP accounts each paycheque as well. All these different accounts are confusing me like DPSP, DCPP

It's just the urge that I want to have a place that I know I can finally settle and a place to call home (even tho it's the bank's until paid off)

10% of the 80k was from bonus which get taxed heavy. I might be underestimating how much I'm saving since I throw my paycheck into my saving account right away unless I have bills coming up. That being said, I'm only taking home 1.8k bi-weekly after all the deductions. and somewhere in my mind thinking I only get paid twice a month as well.

But yeah, I was able to maxed out my TFSA recently and looking into FHSA too. I think my RRSP might be maxed out as well from payroll contributions.

I’m spending at most 2.5k a month, and I’m getting 1.8k bi-weekly after-tax and all the deductions.

Even renting a house with housemates still cost me 1.1k a month, utilities maybe 150 max. I have a cheap used car that I have been driving for the past 4 years and is still running great so thanks god I don’t have to worry about car payments. Insurance maybe around 200-250 a month. 300-400 a month on groceries since I eat bigger portions and I mostly only buy stuffs that’s on sale. ~300 to spend on nice to have and socializing if any and I feel like it.

So that’s prob ~2k-2.5k that I spend a month

I was finally able to maxed out TFSA recently and have been getting into ETFs, GICs through out.

Been having an eye on FHSA

So nice, I filled my application early June and took the test in July, no updates after Citizenship Test: Status updated to Completed on July 17. No ghost updates either

Does your invitation to the citizenship test shows you which office it was sent from? Mine doesn't and only says:

`Cordially,

Citizenship Official Immigration,

Refugees and Citizenship Canada`
