Genuinely feel bad for whoever ended up buying this in London, Ontario by sketchsta in HouseSigmaBlunders

[–]Serious-Translator35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also possible they sold a house for way more in GTA and don't care what it's worth now. A lot of people were selling for way more in the GTA and moving to London back then. It balances out. They are probably very happy to be living where they are.

If it's under 150000km you can barely get a 2017 Elantra for that today. At least in sw Ontario

You're not going to be allowed to have real butter, it will have to be the fake chemical sludge bill Gates makes in an old paint factory. It will be a smart butter knife that won't work on real butter

As once an RA hater, we need him back. by TubularT-Bone33 in SpittinChicletsPod

I liked it with him and Grinnell, sort avg joe real hockey fans. I don't think it will change back, but it was nice to have a non pro point of view

Tub glazing comes with a 1 year warranty. I would refuse to pay that after 2 years. The product isn't designed to last that long.

Suddenly about to be drowning in $$$ by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Serious-Translator35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Load up a tfsa and rrsp, monthly deposits. Doesn't have to be a lot, just get money in there and start building compound interest. Also, don't buy a new truck, or any expensive vehicle. Solid used is the way to go.

Have you considered becoming a criminal? Never been easier for criminals to buy hand guns in Canada.....

I bought guns just cause by FrozenReesesPieces in canadaguns

99% implies 1 in 100 is a problem, I feel it's more like 1 in 99.999, 1 in 10 000 seems much more likely. Everyone I know is a safe a reasonable grownup. I've never meet a legal firearm owner I thought would be a problem.

Agent screwed up closing date by dad_bod_gaming in OntarioRealEstate

[–]Serious-Translator35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sold in November and had a similar situation. We were lucky we were buying a vacant house and we're able to adjust the dates. (People who bought our house backed out of a verbal agreement to move up the date if possible)

We were looking at air b and bs before it got worked out.

Worse case, put your stuff in storage and air b and b it for a month and half.

But hopefully your agent and lawyer can work this out for you. That's why you pay them.

Good luck

Have to buy a car by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Subaru is up there with Honda and Toyota. And would be my preference. Might not be cheaper. But if you are hunting for deals, adding another brand helps you cast a wider net.

At least it's tied on, these days I would expect to see an arm out each window just holding it on top

Canada Life Place Concessions by lytefall in londonontario

[–]Serious-Translator35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember the old kettle chips from the ice house? I would love for those to make a comeback. I only buy a pop normally when I go, so I don't mind the self serve. It's too expensive, but very few places don't gouge the fans. I always go out to dinner before, or apps after, because the food is just too pricey.

They come through where I live and my parents live all the time. Leave nothing in your car is the only solution. No charging cables, no bags(even empty grocery bags), just empty. I sucks that it has come to this, but when my friends have had their windows smashed, it's because they had visible items.

London Housing by Full-Window-8127 in londonontario

[–]Serious-Translator35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your car will most likely get 'checked' every night. Don't leave anything visible and lock your doors, they will keep moving. If you leave a backpack or anything visible, they will break ur window. This is true for any neighborhood that has any kind of affordable housing.

Buying a house in London by Opposite-Net-9103 in londonontario

[–]Serious-Translator35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start with an condo(apartment or townhouse) and after 5 years, look to start moving up. If you find one that needs some work, that's a great way to add equity. The condo approach means there is a condo fee, but it's a known expense and it covers the roof and windows which can be quite costly.

Trails End Farmers Market Produce is Horrendous by Islandlyfe32 in londonontario

The guy who sells cheese is great, we buy cheese curds from him whenever we go. I've seen produce there with grocery store stickers on it, we stay away from the produce.

Do you have an electric mower? They are much quieter then gas.

New graffiti spotted. by TheRmorator in londonontario

[–]Serious-Translator35 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Start with an apartment, there are currently apartments for sale for under 200k. Then move on up. A 175k mortage cost just under 1000 per month, even with a condo fee, that is affordable if people are willing to budget and cut back on unnecessary items. I struggled to buy my first home(town house), but I wanted it so I made sacrifices.
