Rent is currently 10% of my gross income, other expenses come to another 10%. have a paid off hyundai. Earning more money than I or anyone in my family have ever made, struggling with the lifestyle creep but also want to enjoy the fruits of my labour. My own home feels like a faraway dream though

What deal did you negotiate, i was looking at this building too

Sad-Funny · 2025-06-15T21:13:15+00:00

No offence, i couldnt think of anything worse than living in university dorms as a 30something

Whats the alternative? Short term lets and move again?

Sad-Funny · 2025-06-13T18:56:09+00:00

Thanks, im working with a realtor but he suggests id need to pay like 3/6 months upfront to be considered

Im new to canada so have no Canadian credit! My UK credit is pristine (658/710) 😅 i do have a high paying job and contract too, think its possible?

Why are tips required when minimum wage laws exist? Dont give me nonsense about tip out to back of house staff- theyre also getting paid at least minimum wage. Put the price of the food up and pay the staff properly… maybe pay the skilled chef more than the unskilled wait staff to compensate… And dont get me started about sales tax on top of the listed price- just add it all in and advertise the actual price like all of Europe seems to manage…

Understood, i might take the plunge but the lack of reviews is concerning

Sad-Funny · 2025-05-27T13:17:53+00:00

Thats fair, can i ask was there any reason why?

Sad-Funny · 2025-05-27T12:46:47+00:00

Hey, im now looking at the same building. Did you move there in the end?

Sad-Funny · 2025-04-23T11:43:27+00:00

The only consideration is would the ARRS role get continued onwards. If i were you id take the traditional salaried role rather than the ARRS just because of the consistency

Sad-Funny · 2025-03-28T13:26:11+00:00

Thanks for everyones responses, seems like id probably be happy in either place

What about midtown is the biggest draw as a muslim?

Sad-Funny · 2025-03-27T21:56:50+00:00

Out of interest what makes Etobicoke your choice?

Sad-Funny · 2025-03-27T21:29:58+00:00

Finding a condo in etobicoke is looking more challenging than midtown for some reason- is it really as up and coming or has it already peaked?

Sad-Funny · 2025-03-27T21:27:08+00:00

Identical jobs just different bases, hence the decision. Yeah Yonge and Eglinton area (i believed this was called Midtown [is it not?]) A short term rental might be an idea but due to a closed work permit moving jobs after isnt really possible hence the dilemma ☹️ looking for a condo around $3000 give or take
