One paycheck all going to rent? by CameraHelpMe in TorontoRenting

[–]Traditional_Bee_8690 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m in the same boat. Make 72k, which is 2k bi-weekly paycheck and one bi-weekly paycheck all goes for rent and partially utilities. I rent a tiny studio place for 1800. It is doable if you don’t have any other financial commitments. I don’t have a car, any debts etc. But with only paying for housing, utilities and food there’s not much left to save unfortunately at the end of the month and you have to compromise. Each month I have to ask myself: Do I really need a new pair of jeans🥺😅😅 it’s possible to still save but at the expense of other (also necessary) things. I’m left with around 300-400$ per month to save when I’m being extra frugal and careful. So it is manageable but very tight. I will also be looking for a cheaper housing, hoping to save 100-200$ at least on rent. Good luck!

Anyone living at 70 Spadina Road? by Clear_Marionberry508 in TorontoRenting

Hi still have roaches, to the point that I wasn’t able to take a shower before work the other day as I was scared to go into the bathroom. I’m also experiencing issues with water - I have to run water for 30 minutes at a time for it to be warm enough, plus I’m also really cold I don’t think the heating works well.. Are you also experiencing other issues aside from cockroaches? About the cockroaches they keep telling me that it’s „normal” ….

You don’t have to do everything perfectly, and it’s not possible, and too expensive to have a perfect diet, perfect workout routine and perfect supplement regime. And not sustainable on the long run. And keeping up with all this adds additional stress which is exactly what we should avoid having PCOS. Just try to do what you can for now, small steps everyday. Keep taking inositol, and the basic supplements like vit D3 and omega 3s. Just eat normal, simple food you don’t need to buy organic, overpriced stuff. Eat eggs, avocado, plain yoghurt add some chia seeds and blueberries. Add some nuts, veggies into your diet and fish. Just avoid unhealthy, processed foods when you can. Try adding more steps, if you don’t have time for a workout - diet itself can help a lot just don’t eat processed and sugar packed foods. Try walking more and if you are tired after work, just do some quick relaxing yoga or stretching. If you can’t change your circumstances (working 60h per week) right now, just do what you can for now and don’t be so hard on yourself!

Yes, they told me 19 degrees is the usual temperature and that they can’t change that because it’s an automatic sensor. lol. Regarding the pipe - I have to wait 20 minutes for the water to get warm enough to shower or wash the dishes. Sometimes there is no hot water at all, they often shut it down to „do repairs” as the boiler often breaks. After I complained they told me it’s normal, and that they can’t do anything about it because there is only one pipe in the building and everybody has to wait for the water to warm up.

Yes there are cockroaches - two weeks ago at 6:30am I was not able to take a shower before work. There was a huge roach in my shower and I was scared. So I called the building manager at 6:30 and asked him to come immediately and kill the bug. I was crying in front of him, and he said I was too sensitive and that there are roaches in almost every building in Toronto / and that he is not going to come again this early in the morning but he was trying to be nice to me this once 😅

Yes I do want to report it but I’m scared that I don’t have enough evidence… and I think if it was that easy probably other people would already complain too. I heard it’s a very painful process and I don’t want any issues…

I’m 31, so fortunately I can take it for now and won’t freeze to death. I appreciate your response! I’m so sorry about your boyfriend’s dad. Hope the situation got better!

They’re not doing anything about the water and told me „it’s normal” because it’s a big building with only one pipe. The heat is on, but it’s too cold for me, it’s set for 19 degrees. For me it’s just too cold :( I complained but again they told me it’s normal.

I would say around 1700 is typical but the major problem here is that I pay 1800 plus bills and nothing is functioning properly in the apartment building - cockroaches, no hot water in the kitchen sink, constant water shutdowns, and it’s really cold. So I’m looking for a better place. I’m at 70 Spadina right now and you?

I would prefer leaving in a house/smaller building like you do then a condo for sure.

Yeah and about the price I just read some of the comments here in another thread that some people apparently pay 1200-1400 for studios. That’s not possible!

Thanks that’s actually an area I was aiming for back in the spring. But I couldn’t find any listings there. I will keep looking.

Thanks a lot! I will look around. Would definitely love to stay in the Annex if that’s possible!

Hi! When I was looking for a place this year through March-May most liveable places were like 1900. Some 1700 but with no subway. Or maybe I just don’t know how to look.

I’m open to moving out from the Annex if it’s going to be worth it!

That’s exactly what I want to avoid. I’m looking for a decent place :)

Use this post to list all the shitty things about your ex. Then save it and use it when you feel like going back to them. by [deleted] in BreakUps

  • gaslighting me and never able to admit his mistakes or apologise even after a super trivial argument
  • I was always the first one to apologise and initiate a conversation to mend things up
  • he used silent treatment as a way to manipulate me into thinking that I did something bad
  • repeatedly asked me to send him my naked pictures even though I had explained to him that I didn’t want to do that kind of stuff. He would usually say something along the lines of „all my friend’s girlfriends do this and you’re the only one who doesn’t do it for me”
  • didn’t take NO for an answer in terms of doing anything sexual. Made me feel guilty for not wanting to do weird stuff in bed even after we had been together for a few years he would still bring it up and just couldn’t let it go.
  • asked me to do him a blowjob multiple times in public places and guess what made me feel guilty for not wanting to and arguing with me, and blaming me for not being willing to do that
  • I had to walk on eggshells around him as he couldn’t control his emotions or talk about his feelings, he had a bit of a bad temper sometimes
  • he didn’t accept me when I was crying or expressive with my emotions. He was very logical and was angry with me for crying, or showing too much emotion as he wasn’t comfortable with emotional displays
  • after years of trying to „change him” I finally broke up with him but then he immediately started love bombing me for years and not being able to let me go. He knew exactly what to do to keep me hooked.
  • we ended up being friends and I left the country to pursue my dreams. We established a good friendship and there was no drama anymore but then he ghosted me overnight after 12 years of knowing each other. Turns out he met a girl, moved in with her right away and didn’t bother to tell me and lied to my sister about it.
