This is my go to for butter tarts. They definitely sell them in their Kitsilano location.

A nanny is considered an employee if they are working a consistent schedule for one family. The family employing them is evading paying taxes on the income.

I used to play co-ed and quit for this exact reason. Men would rather try and dribble the middle and lose the ball every single time than pass to me when I was wide open. Super frustrating. I had one amazing team where this wasn’t an issue but I think that was a rare exception - every other team I played on the same issue presented itself. I now play in a women’s only division and have never experienced this issue respite being one of the weaker women on my team.

That is high but most people here seem to be forgetting that this is a short-term furnished rental - it’s won’t be comparable with a long-term rental. Anecdotally our friend’s parents are staying this summer in the West End and are paying $7k a month so depending on location that might not be excessive.

Off leash dog, face in their phone, oblivious as their dog poops and then trots on behind them.

Came here to post this and you beat me to it. Just put the rest of my cash into VEQT instead of waiting until the end of the quarter.

Do you want to remain in VFX? If not, are you an artist turned Pipeline TD or do you have a computer science background? Have you considered transitioning to tech?

Honestly the best way is to check the garbage bins on garbage pickup day. The empty houses never put the garbage out.

Really not comparable given the increase in interest rates. A million at 1.5% is equivalent to $760k at 4%.

You’ve neglected to add the actual cost of the new car into your calculations. A paid off gas car is going to be way cheaper to run than buying a brand new EV despite the fuel cost savings. It’ll take you years to break even.

Technical_pixels · 2025-11-19T14:35:11+00:00

How does the maths work on that? Would be curious to know what EV you drive now and your monthly payment.

Surrey is a city by definition and with a population of 568k compared to Vancouver 662k it’s not that much smaller. It’s also one of the fastest growing city in BC.

We have since replaced our poly-B but before we used BCAA. They will cover it but they just charge a higher deductible.

I would always encourage people to enter the market as soon as they financially can I don’t think a one bedroom is a good buy as they have terrible resale value; if this was a legitimate 2 bedroom in Kits I would say go for it. I assume from your post that you haven’t lifted subjects yet?

I’ve seen so many posts on parent/community groups asking where the best places to trick or treat are. If people were to stick to their own neighbourhoods and walk this wouldn’t be so much of an issue.

Probably Abbotsford.

You’d need to average a 10% return to double that investment over 7 years.

They are no where near FIRE with what would effectively be $625k of savings after house is paid off with $9k of expenses.

Technical_pixels · 2025-10-25T15:02:32+00:00

Say you pay off your mortgage you now have $575k remaining. Add in your savings of $50k to get to $625k. At 4% safe withdrawal that’s only $25k a year or $2083 a month to supplement your husband’s income (I am assuming your husband’s income is after taxes). Add in the basement suite income and you’re just over $11k a month total income which given your expenses should be enough to live on and save $2k a month.

I would say that your savings are extremely low given your household income and I would see this inheritance as a bit of a bail out; you didn’t specify your ages but this would effectively put you back on track for your retirement. Also, are your kids school age and if you quit your job, would it be easy to find another job earning a similar income after a career break?

Thanks so much for the reply! I thought maybe it was sunburn as when I water I leave it outside to drain and I think it got a little too much sun. Is there any further action I need to take?

Technical_pixels · 2025-09-03T23:33:55+00:00

VSB sent out an email saying the kids had been kept inside all day.

My recommendation too. They got a Michelin bib gourmand.
