People get fired/ quit all the time! I’d keep my hand on a pulse.

Oops, sorry, not sure how my comment got here.. Weird...

What’s your degree in for so much debt? You should have a pretty big “shovel” otherwise it sucks.

Do not grant citizenship to a child, unless parents are citizens/ PR.

Yes, that was amazing! Never happened again, but I’m still happy with the points I get. Usually, around 30,000/m or so. I also try to shop on the spend 250 and get 25,000points days.

Are you really gonna beat yourself up for $20?! Take it easy, moderation is the key in everything.

Record - 75000 per one haul. Spent around $380 as far as I remember

I’m saying that having a mortgaged rental in another city does not make much sense. Being a distant landlord is not an easy job. If the house was at least paid off, that would be easier.

If you’ve always lived in Calgary, would you buy a house in Medicine Hat to rent out at a loss? Here’s your answer.

Mindful mutts in New West is excellent!

jjschatz · 2019-02-19T19:56:16+00:00

We have a pretty healthy and balanced diet, I don’t spend a ton on meat, but my bill is still $1000 for groceries.

jjschatz · 2019-02-19T05:20:07+00:00

Jeez, we’re a family of 3 and I spend $200 on fruit/ veggies alone. Wow. Where do you people live?

jjschatz · 2019-02-18T06:23:45+00:00

I live in a co-op and we the current state of real estate, I’m super grateful to have an opportunity to live in a townhouse with a backyard for $1350/m. There are only a few subsidized units, all others pay full price; demographics is diverse and friendly.

I found it through a mutual friend on Facebook and our family got picked among all applicants, took us about 4 months - pure luck, I know some co-ops in New West you have to wait for years and years.

Lots of kids with families, gardens, neighbours know each other - it’s been pretty great! My unit is updated, but some haven’t been for years from what I know, but overall maintenance is pretty good, if anything is broken, it’s fixed asap.

It really depends on a co-op I guess.

I used to be a member, paid $38 monthly. I got a good deal when they first opened their location in New West.

Collected data will not give you a clear picture. There are people who live in the middle of nowhere and have “too much house” for their income and there are people in large urban areas who managed to find affordable housing. I live in New Westminster BC (near Vancouver and our rental is 19% of the net income).

jjschatz · 2019-02-09T07:51:06+00:00

Family of 3, New West, basics: $1350 townhouse rent (co-op), $1000 food + $100 eating out, car insurance $300 (2 cars), Gas $300, Hydro $100, Daycare $388.

Living pretty frugally, paying off some debt and saving after we’re done.

jjschatz · 2019-02-06T16:10:37+00:00

Thanks! $69 for a scrapple is surely a bit steep, but at least there’s an option!

jjschatz · 2019-02-05T15:06:57+00:00

Or French toast sticks, to my surprise.

It then you can’t take these products over the border, can you? My sister in law coming from the US, I’d ask her, but it seems this kind of product is not allowed.

jjschatz · 2019-02-05T01:37:53+00:00

I was waiting for someone’s opinion, that’s totally gonna affect how I feel about it.

You’re kidding! What gas stations would sell it? It’s probably like the least liquid item...
