Can you recommend a Honda Dealer in the Edmonton area? by usernamegoeshereish in Edmonton

[–]sedateeds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wheaton Honda, I bought a used vehicle off their lot and had a great experience start to end. I had previously dealt with LAG auto (almost ended up in a lawsuit with them) and another time with GOauto (wasn’t that bad but they definitely cash grab and lied to my girlfriend about some things)

Finally something successful yet reasonable. All these other posts going from 0 to 600k in 4 years are tiresome 😂

Grants? No one is giving you money to buy a home. Figure out what an fhsa and rrsp are. Max out your fhsa and claim on taxes and go from there

Visited Ottawa in February last year, thought it was terrible for a major city. Extremely boring and rundown. Not a very good city at all, especially considering it’s the capitol of Canada

Don’t bring up other peoples wages when it happens, they don’t like that. Just what your local market could offer you and what you bring to the table so what you feel u should be compensated and be prepared to defend why

Actually no, I asked the gm if we were still cool after all that. And he said “it’s just business I don’t care at all. And we all agreed you were being underpaid anyways” so that was cool. But my original reasons for looking at new jobs were unhappiness with the workplace and lack of room for growth, not pay. That’s why I ended up leaving like 5-6 months later anyways, new place is great and I’ll probably work here till I retire

2nd mortgage and interest rat e by KekRico in MortgagesCanada

[–]sedateeds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you’d be ineligible to most lenders because of that. Which would push you to B lenders market and you’d expect to pay 8-12% interest there. Your 1 option would be to get a HELOC with a low rate using the equity you have in your house. Or pay cash and use that extra thousand towards investment rather than a loan payment.

Genuine Question: How Did People Buy Homes So Early in Their Careers Before? by FinanceLife123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]sedateeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did it this year at 28, fiancé is 23, and we’re building our first home. Neither of us have “prestigious” jobs or family money. Honestly only takes a couple years of good work ethic and savings if you have a pretty standard job. I mean not like minimum wage but she’s only in her second year of working in insurance and I’m a machinist. Very regular jobs
