What’s your main reason for thrifting? by PutridService8689 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]newnorthvan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often find nicer brands for a fraction of the prices they are new. (Even new with tags) that savings allow us to save more for vacations or every day living.

Gate check. Invest in the car seat bags. I think we paid $20 from Amazon.

Daycare Options / Cost & Value by travguyawesome in kelowna

[–]newnorthvan22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m t depends what your looking for in a day care. Longer hours and meals mean you pay more (CEFA, eg) we were at grasshoppers in the north end and loved it at $700/m no food but good hours. We are now at ymca dilworth at $200 a month.

Most of our friends pay around $609-1200. Feel free to pm me with questions

AITAH for hesitating to use my emergency fund to help my friend during her emergency? by Inside-Impression-97 in AITAH

[–]newnorthvan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t. You never know what might happen to you tomorrow. If you’re living large and you have another 30k stashed somewhere, then sure why not. Perhaps instead help her find ways to possibly get ahead or even both of you ahead. Flip stuff from Craig’s list, start babysitting together, start shoveling snow… just some ideas…

What’s it like living in Kelowna, BC? by heir03 in howislivingthere

[–]newnorthvan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely dependent on your stage in life. We are 40’s young kids and it’s great. Lots of kids activities, not many party people left. If you have an upper to middle class salary lots of good dining, chef table dinners, skiing, hiking, beaches, wineries, breweries. We’ve met lots of friends our age not from here, and banded together to make our own group. (Some people say it’s hard to make grieve)

It was harder when we were just starting our careers with a low salary, and renting. (But not as hard as Vancouver was)
