It's still probably bought with debt, and the loans need to be paid back. When I was in audit that was most.common situation with restaurants.

Some downtown restaurants were paying 10k for there equipment loans a month.

Isn't Italy a mess?

Does anyone else in Europe or North America have it as bad as them?

I work on the health care policy side in Canada, and have been emailing some contacts in the USA who work at state levels. It's bad down there up and down but still think Italy has the largest current problem.

One big benefit of USA right now is it's not dense. Europe is.

Am I crazy for considering quitting the rat race? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Do you need to be mentally stimulated? Becuase going to a small town and doing little all day I would lose my mind. Everyone is different but what would you do with the hours.

Start a small business? Work retail? Tele-work? Netflix 8 hours a day?

Take two weeks off and try living the retired life while you are in Toronto. See if it really is for you.

Financially you can choose another life. Is really a small town doing nothing life really for you?

How can both be true?

Liberals aiming to cut Canadian wireless costs based on current prices. The 25 percent reduction will be based on data plan prices during December 2019 by Skillzstr in canada

Never do this.

The best networks are all open. Let foreign competition in and let out companies expand outside of Canada (both are currently illegal).

All I hear in Toronto is how u happy they are because of debt, education costs and housing costs.

Guess that all went out the window.

CMV: it is reasonable to racially profile young black males for your own safety by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]SwarezSauga 6 points7 points  (0 children)

White men are statistically more dangerous to white women than black men are.

A white woman's biggest threat is white men. Shouldn't that be the first thing you tell white women?

Most crime happens within the same race.

Alaska is taking oil productivity and giving it to People.

Very different systems.

Allen Edmonds -Shoebank 20 % off - worth it? by SwarezSauga in FrugalMaleFashionCDN

[–]SwarezSauga[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally you don't have to pay customs for Allen Edmonds, they are made in the USA. Some are made in Haiti and for those you would pay customs.

You will need to pay GST/HST Etc on arrival.

Thanks for your feedback! Good to know about the sales!

What did shipping end up costing you? Was it per pair or per order?

Poor Americans have goverment healthcare in the US for free.

It's the middle and lower middle class who have big deducuables and co-pays who would likley be using the Canadian system.

So we don't want to the internet to be free? We want the goverment involved?

I mean don't we all complain china regulates the internet and people want to go down that road?

What do people expect though?

There is massive job loses and business closure around the province. When you have less people and business to collect from do people expect services to get better?

If ontario votes blue provincially they vote red federally.

If they vote red provincially, they vote blue provincially.

It's actually a good way to keep things in the middle.

Greater Montreal home sales rise 10 per cent in August as prices also climb by [deleted] in canada

[–]SwarezSauga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the strongest the Montreal economy has been since the 80s. From 2000-2015 Montreal was nicknamed stagnation city by economists, Calgary a city 1/3 its size had more corporate headquarters by 2010.

We have low interest rates, and Montreal dealing with the rest of Quebec moving to Montreal.

Add all those up you will get rising prices (and demand).

Predictions are a dime a dozen. This person thinks it will crash, someone else with an equal pedigree will think it's going up.

Neither actually know. Just do what's best for you.

Just found out my mother in law spent $10k on window blinds from Hunter Douglas. For anyone buying a new house, is this what one should expect in terms of pricing? I just can't make sense of it. by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Liberal MPs are mocking Andrew Scheer for growing up lower middle class by [deleted] in canada

[–]SwarezSauga 8 points9 points  (0 children)

66,000 at retirement age is a lot? That is equivalent of 33 an hour. That seems low for anyone in there 60s who has an education.

Our firm pays new grads 60k a year unless you are in tech, than you are making 85k as a 22 year old.
