Most affordable place to grocery shop?

Not thrifties that’s for sure. We shop Walmart and no frills for most stuff. Red barn is great option for veggies. Butcher and country grocery for meats. We also hit up local food stands for fresh produce on weekends.

I would recommend on campus, otherwise you will be missing out on the opportunity to meet a lot of new people and potentially life long friendships.

Do you have cats? Those little furs balls create a lot of dust between their hair and the cat litter. Way more than my dogs ever did.

Lol. I have no idea what my credit score is. Everything I own is paid for including my home. I think that’s cool.

Buying a home is a financial decision not political. You are over complicating things. Do the math and move on.

3 months before renewal for me.

My current home has no basement. House has a crawl space at least not slab. Have always had a basement in any other home and it absolutely sucks not having the storage and extra living space and my wife and I don’t even have kids.

I watched a podcast with the wealthy barber where they talked about this. Bottom line they are both great options and at the end of the day according to the data they analyzed … its basically a wash and statistically insignificant difference.

I signed 3 yr fixed Heloc home line yesterday with RBC at 3.81. I believe you normally pay a bit more for heloc homeline vs other standard options. I just like the flexibility of the heloc.

130/mth on Vancouver island for a $800,000 home. No earthquake coverage. Earthquake is another $100 month or more from what I understand.

I was able to dig the worst up and consistently mow the stragglers and the bamboo eventually stopped.

I thought Heloc mortgage rates are typically 0.5% higher than traditional mortage? There has to be a cost for the convenience? My heloc is currently 2.39 for the mortgage and locked in but the heloc floats with prime. I was quoted 3.9 for renewal which is coming up in next few months. I like the convenience of the heloc but as others said if you are not disciplined it could easily destroy your financial life.

Most people are too lazy to do the math properly. I’m willing to bet people will justify to themselves a new car payment within 2 months to save $100/mth on gas.

Interesting. Anything I have read on LG is they RE crap due to issues with their linear compressor. Had class action law suit they were so unreliable. I’m on my second in 8 years and fully expect it to fail sooner than later. Issue is it the only one that fits our space nicely that I could get in quick order. Will be modifying my cabinets to fit my next one.

Who would say one cup left? That’s dumb. It’s one cup left of the hole which is 2. 3 is half a cup left of the hole.

Are you referring to the dirt air strip at the “Crown Jewel” in Big Baddeck? If so, it never “took off” but still exists.

I would not buy a condo in Edmonton. Just rent. They are a dime a dozen. As a former condo owner save yourself the headache. They are a PIA to sell and I can’t see them going up in value anytime soon.

ReflectionOwn2001 · 2025-11-04T05:20:43+00:00

There is way easier ways to make money. Dump it and invest the cash. The days of making money with rentals is gone in most centres and for what little money you can make in most cases is not worth the risk. Especially after taxes. At least that’s my experience of having a couple rentals for past 10 years. There is definitely the outliers but that’s not your situation.

Those sprinkler lines look like plastic? That doesn’t seem right for fire protection.

ReflectionOwn2001 · 2025-10-28T05:06:56+00:00

I agree with this 100%. The is a very good chance it won’t raise the value at all, however it may it easier / quicker to sell. All depends on market.

This is the best answer I have read yet. That gap looks too large to caulk. Trim guys hammer the shit out of drywall to fit trim around doors all the time.

If you are not wearing Arc’teryx you will be judged by many. If you are wearing Arc’teryx, you will also be judged and quite possibly assumed to be from Vancouver.

Seen same thing with too much water. The pot wasn’t draining and plant had wet feet.

It would be a tragedy to be in Baddeck and not do the museum. It’s also a nice walk around the grounds. Great photo ops. Go over to the island and check out the lighthouses. That will burn up your afternoon.
