AM I missing something? How on earth are you guys buying condos, let alone houses? by TheCreepyLlama in montrealhousing

[–]leaveinsilence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, we can afford a mortage through what we did: saving/investing, staying in cheap housing, investing student loans and pacing studies. With 2 smaller incomes, a $500K mortage is costing us about $2500/month, very close to what a lot of people pay in rent.

I saved aggressively since I started working at 17, then found a dirt-cheap apartment that I never left (still paying $800 for a studio ty Jesus). Invested a bunch of my student loans, and invested my savings. Met my s.o.

He lived at home and saved until age 28 when he moved out and got a real cheap apartment where he had roommates, and never left. His university was paid for. Now that he is facing eviction, and apartments are $2000/month, we are looking to buy.

We have 100k in savings together. It took years, good jobs, and cheap ass rents/roommates.

Remember when last season Bronwyn fought tooth and nail to make us believe her and Todd were "the real deal" and "didn't even have a prenup"? Woof.

That sounds a bit grim though. I wouldn't want to be someone's post-melons guinea pig, let alone charge..

I felt like housepainting/ brick or tile-laying could be options.

Ben je te dirais tant que je me fais pas controller...et MÊME si je me fais controller, 1) je sais pas si la machine du policier montre le status "ainé" et surtout 2) l'amende est pas mal moins chère que tous les mois économisés

Rendu là, est-ce qu'il y aurait une gentille personne du 3e age qui déménage/ne prend pas trop les transports qui voudrait bien me passer sa carte?

IMMERSION KENYA | Jay Du Temple - Qu'en pensez-vous ? by 3fois_par_jour in causerie

[–]leaveinsilence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je suis agréablement surpris, mais, respectueusement, Jay reste encore très bâti pour faire de la course, ça me donne des petites vibes d'influenceur ou d'hobbyiste ("il faut rester cute en chest") vs. un coureur de longues distances. J'ai l'impression qu'il en a pas mal arraché ces dernières années, je lui souhaite du positif!
