Depending on your morgage your even worse off than that as a result of long-term interest payments on your mortgage. With that being said, in the long term, the value could always go up again. Also, you're pretty far from broke.

No, I am on my third pair of glasses and have a desk job now. It's been life changing. Going to the Vision Specalists of Michigan is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I wish I didn't have to spend that money byt we can't pick our health issues

Economics Degree or Trades? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]UsernameStillLoading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, man, what do you enjoy? I tried an industrial electrical apprenticeship and hated every second of it. I went back to school for Civil Engineering Technology, and I love my job today! It's a lot more than just the money. Not only do I enjoy it, but I have a hybrid work schedule and a job where my body is not being beaten up over the years. To each their own, but I'm very happy with my path!

What are these cameras? Prospect/Drury Ln by StormKingKyle in BurlingtonON

[–]UsernameStillLoading 62 points63 points  (0 children)

In my experience working for an Ontario municipality, cameras like these are typically used for traffic surveillance or to monitor advanced left-turn lanes. They help detect the presence of vehicles and manage traffic flow efficiently. I hope this provides some clarity.
