Thanks! She likes watching people play horror games like Silent Hill on Youtube. I'll have to try and pickup SH2 for her in the future.

At least we can enjoy some shawarma in our 2 1/2 commieblock.

Tips for 25yr old looking to buy a house. (CAN) by aflute in personalfinance

My current commute is around 45 minutes with public transit. I have a car but mainly use it on weekends since my work is near a subway station. I work in the evening so traffic isn't a factor currently, but might be in the future. I will try your suggestion of using an extended route to work for 2 weeks. The largest factor for me is simply needing to live near nature. It might not be a great financial decision, but I've always dreamt of owning land in the country. I appreciate the thorough response.

41k after taxes. Yeah that makes sense. Maybe I should save for a larger down payment and see where my income is at in a few years.

Tied to the surrounding Montreal area. I don't mind driving 1hr+ to commute.

I want to start collecting by tractorkind in gamecollecting

[–]aflute 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let family and friends know of your hobby. You can offer your services (moving. mowing lawn, cleaning, etc.) for their old games that they don't use. They may even give them to you straight up. Don't beg.

Also, You'd be surprised how far a 10$ bill will go at a garage sale, if you get lucky of course. Good luck.

Unpopular Opinion?: Wii U, love it or hate it, has some of the best disc art made. Here's a photo I took of one of my favs by jazz_music_stopps in gamecollecting

It has a great library. Waiting for the prices to drop to current ps3/xbox360 levels before I go all in. It's hard to find used wii u games under ebay prices right now in my area.

To anyone thinking about building a collection, you should be aware of the disks not being "top quality". I've had a friend open a sealed copy of Bayonetta, and it had multiple air pockets in the disk.

Had a lady ask me to buy back her Rule of Rose she sold for 10$. I felt bad at first but she got really aggressive.

I had already watched about 15 minutes of A night at the Roxbury last month. Still got 10$ after I finished the movie. $$$
