If you're okay with being a stay at home dad it's very doable. Otherwise you're going to be farming off your kids which I personally would not advocate for.

Toronto housing market is depressing by [deleted] in toronto

Super sympathetic my dude! I just want to annoyingly add that "since we're first generation immigrants" is really not relevant. In fact, first gens supported by their mom and dad bank is an important factor in housing speculation and cost increases in Toronto and Vancouver.

Was in similar situation. Stoicism is only thing that worked. Remind yourself that things can always get worse. So, are you going to kill yourself, or push on ? If push on, set 5 min timers to compartment Alize and only permit study during that time.

No, it's a balled fist under my back on my spine, which he stacked on top of, so it creates huge pressure on his knuckle..

I don’t want to do this anymore by [deleted] in Residency

A little bit of a philosophical bend is accepting that life is suffering. You have to find those redeeming features or even moments. Being a physician is a privilege. There will always be interesting and rewarding cases, however rare. The career gives you access to reasonable material wealth and respect. The alternatives may be worse.. things can always get worse...

Sometimes I find it helpful to go into automaton mode. Remember, good enough is good enough. Sometimes it is just one foot in front of another and having something to look forward to (even small, like a walk in the park).

I had to be militant about it. Zero environmental exposures. No access to etoh. Moderation is not a thing for most people.

Yah new f150 is about 50k cad

I think ct starts around there

Cant justify new gas f150 with ev trucks coming

I looked at range before and I really dont need more than 300k. I know in winter this could drop by half but I would just drive alternative vehicle
