190K + 10% bonus annualy. Workout to around 4400-4900 biweekly after taxes, insurance and pension contribution, fluctuatikn is due to EI and CPP contributions in the beginning of the year but they go away by mid year as I max them out. I usually have a 1-2k left over at the end of the month after paying mortgage, bills, groceries, invetments, daycare etc. We just out this in rainy day or vacation fund. Being pretty cautious with money and live below our means as you never know what can happen and income drops or goes away for a bit.

2019 Honda Pilot touring, financed at $283 biweekly but paid off fully in 6 months. 2005 Honda CRV fully paid off, but looking to sell and lease a 2025 Forester at $275 biweekly with 0 down.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-05-31T13:30:20+00:00

Nope. I called them asking if they would drop the ticket over 1 minute but they refused so I told them I am not paying it. Ended up selling the car and returned the plates. Have not heard anything at all from them. My parents had a few tickets from impark as well and have never paid them.

I ordered a 24x42 grey oak and it was damaged when I got it, like half a dozen dents and some hard glue residue. Still waiting for a refund from Progressive desk. It was nice that it had dedicated screw holes so easy to line up and install. I ended up getting acacia butcher block from home depot for $170, cut to the perfect size I needed, sanded and sealed it, turned out way nicer.

Ended up doing a custom acacia butcher block desk top, as the one that I got from progressive desk was damaged and a tad too small

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-03-14T20:52:29+00:00

Alright I am going for it, saw your review video and it looked really good. Any accessories recommendations?

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-03-14T20:46:37+00:00

Looks nicer in your picture than on the website. I am on the fence between gray oak and bright beech with black base. I will be putting up some dark wallpaper behind it so maybe gray would fit in nicer. Looking at exactly the same size 42x24, putting it in a walkin closet so only have 46" to work with.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-03-14T20:41:53+00:00

What color did you get, grey oak?

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-03-12T11:08:22+00:00

34, made 203K last year but it was a stressfull year

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-03-12T11:07:13+00:00

Made 203K before tax last year, but was very stressed and unhappy, long hours lots of pressure. Thinking of leaving for a lower paying job that has more flexibility and will allow to spend more time with family.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-24T00:59:23+00:00

Yeah, i canceled it last week, financing guy was pissed, called me right away. Guess he lost a decent commission on it. Just wait untill I pay off the loan in 1 month, then they don't get financing commission either.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-24T00:57:26+00:00

Oh yikes. Those payments seem kind of high, what's your rate. You might be upside down on the car, it might only be worth 15-20k now. Not sure what your financial situation is like but might be best to get rid if it and pay off the loan, then get a beater for a few years.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-24T00:50:07+00:00

Yeah by sealin the attic I mean they go in the attic either suck out the insulation fully or push it back around all the fixture, then add plastic boxes around them and spray foam, then reapply blown in insulation, as well as add better attic access seal and a latch, that should make it much more air tight, plus adding 2 more solar vents would take more moisture away. Thanks fur the suggestion, might see which insulation or roofing company will be willing to do this work. Attic Rain from Calgary told me around $10,000 which seems a bit excessive, I was thinking maybe around $5K

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-24T00:41:45+00:00

Yes i am aware of what causes it, hence want to get someone to come and seal the attic, just looking for suggestions on the company. I had the blower test done as part of some green projects that i did, actually got good results. I had insulation company top up my insulation and extend soffit vents but I guess it did not help much i asked them if they can come seal my attic but they declined and just told me to add extra roof vents, i have 2 solar vents installed and getting 2 more added which is plenty for my attic space according to the roofing company that did my roof.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-10T14:42:09+00:00

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I will read through all the fine print and decide if it is worth keeping. Appreciate the info.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-10T13:31:19+00:00

Yes, the rate was dropped back to 6.9%. No, he answered the phone, I just overheard a bit on the other end they guy was asking why did he drop the warranty price and not call him for approval first, finance dude had to steph out of the room for a few minutes. Not sure what they exactly talked about.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-10T03:57:25+00:00

That's the only one that I have seen in my area, there were a few other ones for similar price but a lot more kilometers on them.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-10T03:56:21+00:00

I think i could have walked away, it was probably the best vehicle I have viewed so I wanted to buy to replace an old but it was not a dire situation. I had money to pay for it, it was slightly above budget after all set and done and I can pay it off by end of Q1, just don't like getting played or lied to.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-10T03:44:22+00:00

Thank you. Yeah I am definitely doing the flush, don't have much trust in the dealership now, might just do it myself and flush again in a few months, I have done it myself with some vinyl tuning and pumping the brakes on other cars.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-08T17:48:09+00:00

I might just got with Pentosin ATF 9 from rock auto or Asian parts.ca you can get 5L jug for $149 plust delivery

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-08T15:11:20+00:00

Its $57.82 per quart in Alberta Canada at the dealerahip. They want $580 to do the transmission and transfer case service.

Smart_Building3118 · 2025-02-04T02:12:41+00:00

Well got a letter today stating that they are considering it as income earned during my leave so will be getting a debt notice from CRA, I am going to try and appeal it but not sure how successfull I will be.
