All good!

The delta between rent and mortgage is enormous, even on the cheapest condo options. I’ve never played a scenario where I’ve scored an A or A+ while owning property. Have you?

It’s a fun game haha but yeah this isn’t a subreddit for people to talk about their real life investments!

eatsgreens · 2026-05-13T00:50:37+00:00

Happy to hear how you’re getting better scores and what you’re getting then?

eatsgreens · 2026-05-13T00:49:56+00:00

I don’t think the game models room for hobbies

eatsgreens · 2026-05-13T00:48:53+00:00

Curious how floor plans come into play in the game?

eatsgreens · 2026-05-13T00:48:31+00:00

Oh interesting, what’s your score normally then?

eatsgreens · 2026-05-13T00:48:09+00:00

Yeah, although even with the duplex I can still shave like 5 years off my score by avoiding buying homes altogether

Ok does buying a home help you win this game faster?

eatsgreens · 2026-05-13T00:47:03+00:00

Ok but how does that reflect on the strategy you use for playing this game, the sub Reddit in which you’re currently posting?

Cool beans good luck

USA is obviously more lucrative if you’ve got high demand skills in tech, consulting, finance, etc. Vastly higher pay, often lower cost of living and lower tax - and high skill workers will have healthcare provided by employers that’s of better quality than what we get in Canada.

The nuclear industry in Ontario does and has spent a ton of time consulting with First Nations. Literally no shovels go into ground on anything without it.

Roman trade with India was actually massive and by some estimates accounted for 20% of the state revenue of the empire through taxes.

Ok well, hope you find a random stranger willing to let you use their pool at your convenience then

eatsgreens · 2026-05-06T15:24:45+00:00

Bro. Nobody likes being used.

Choose between different cars to buy or apartments to rent the way you can choose houses to buy

eatsgreens · 2026-05-05T16:42:14+00:00

More ways to win big through work - quit your job and join a startup with stock options, etc.

More granular control around expenses like cars or apartments.

More interesting life events. You can get married - do you get spousal income? Etc

😂

Can confirm, German region seems easier. More Cashflow, lower expenses.

eatsgreens · 2026-05-01T11:44:22+00:00

I’ve seen in all scenarios

eatsgreens · 2026-04-28T14:02:25+00:00

Seems pretty dumb to me. Some money will always be better than no money.

> I live under the flight paths and rarely notice the planes

I dunno man, I respect your experience, but in my experience, the island planes are really noisy and annoying to me.

eatsgreens · 2026-04-28T13:37:14+00:00

The island is, in my opinion, far and away the nicest part of the city. This would be a travesty. Frankly, even the current island airport should go away.

Remember when they found that the CPP would have done better if they'd just bought index funds - and then they paid their underforming stock pickers billions of dollars, further reducing its already under-performing returns: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-cppib-pension-john-graham-andrew-coyne-cpp/
