But carbon tax is not just the gas you fill, it's the bus that you take, taxi Uber you take, Amazon buddy guy delivery, Walmart, Costco semi truck. It cost more for everyone, and everything, which will pass the cost to you, the buyer. Are you gonna take the bus less as they jack up the price? Eat less groceries cuz they cost more due to the tax now? Everything is related to each other and the cost just gets passed along. You think that $17.6? Minimum wage won't raise prices? Let that inflation party turn up  |

Is this a good business? How much will one cost? We can group buy RS fast and future gas station. Quote:

You have to look at how many litres a year it sells. Is the land leased or would you own it. The big one is the fuel contract. Each of these stations comes with a 10 year contract. I can guarantee you parkland is making money off every litre sold. What matters is how much are they making. They are acting as a middle man. As for price one of them I looked at I would not buy even for a dollar. The sales are shit and the land is leased. Another on is probably worth around 4 million but do you want to move to Fort Erie ON.

Long story short.
Mike gets profit on the uplift.
Everyone gets down payment back PLUS interest or at least a bit.
Don't care what anyone says, i always tell my wife / gf at the time, the downpayment / is a LOAN. It's NOT FREE money.
We have to be honorable to not go on vacation to Europe for 8 weeks. We have to pay people back.. what's the repayment plan? Do you seriously think mom / dad gave us eg// $100k and we only repay $1000 a year???? You gotta be crazy...

Even though he makes almost twice she does, everything is split 50/50, so I don't think she is getting that benefit of his higher wage. If she was, I don't think she would be acting this way.

I didn't comment the last two pages because I didn't think it really matters at the end.
I don't feel like this is a relationship that will be long lasting. I'm going to guess the kid was born during covid because really there was nothing to do but have sex and everyone was popping out kids.
If he's upset about the 20k going back to MIL, there's going to be a shit ton of other stuff to be upset about in the future, and that's not how a healthy relationship is built, there's no respect. Ditto the fact that he makes DOUBLE what she makes.
At the the end of the day, the loser is the kid.

Relationship is bound to fail, incoming future of financial hardships for both.
A child’s love will hold them together 
Honestly don’t know how people are so dumb lol.. legit like in that case and in so many other cases, those 6-8 months of your life has set your trajectories on a completely different path.
Oh well, we can’t all be ballers heheh

Oh damn... that totally changes everything.
If they've already popped out two kids, and been living together for some time now (at least 3 years, I would assume?), and they are still insisting on splitting costs 50/50 while he makes 2x of what she makes, and he wants all the proceeds from the apartment sale to go into the joint account, then this guy is a total loser.
I feel bad for Lily now. Quote:

Lily just sold the condo today for $749,000.
Lily and Mike refinanced and there is $521,000 currently left on the mortgage.
What would be a fair way to split the gains.
I was thinking $749,000-$521,000 = $228,000 left in cash.
Give Lily back $70,000 for down payment
Give back Lily's mom $20,000 for down payment
$228,000 - $70,000 - $20,000 = $138,000
Put $138,000 into Lily and Mike's Joint account.
Does that seem fair?
Lily likes my idea above, but Mike thinks all of the proceeds should be going into their joint account. | Fuck that Mike, that guy sounds like a loser.
This Mike agrees with the above.

Actually, hold up.
Are they both living in Lily's condo, or is she living in his condo? The original message says Lily moved in with Mike so that makes me think she moved out of her own place.
Secondly, what happened to the cash from the refinance? Even if Lily did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to service the debt, her mortgage should still be around 350k and not 521k. What happened to the 200k+ that was taken out of the mortgage?
The more you dive into it, the messier it is.
EDIT: It sounds like there's more to the story than they let on. Almost sounds like they are consolidating two properties and trying to get one bigger place if the whole moving bit is true. Doesn't change the fact that whether or not if MIL wants the 20k back that Mike needs to be open to it.

Sounds like Mike doesn't want to split finances when he's doing better but wants to split them once lily is doing better.
Great things ahead for this couple!
Mike sounds like the kinda guy that's gonna get caught cheating in Vegas and change his profile pic to the kid he doesn't bother to see as much as he can after the divorce lol.

If they're still splitting bills 50/50.. then the property is easy, just look at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/l...amily-property under the excluded property clause.
She gets the value up until he moved in, then they split the difference of the increase of value. At least this is how it would be in a divorce, and they might as well practice for it given their current relationship

You post as a girl on reddit about common-law division of assets and it's a "you go girl, get your half"
Change that to a guy and you'll get "That guy is a asshole, leave his ass" or you get banned from the subreddit if you're the guy.

If you're worried about losing half (because that's what the law says), maybe people should be more thoughtful about their choices?
Where does it say in the Book of Life that a partner needs to make less than you? Nothing precludes any person from pursuing a partnership with someone that has equivalent assets and equivalent income.

If you as a guy have considerable assets + income. Do you really care if the girl makes $70 - 110K vs $150 - 220K?
Not really, you'd rather have the girl making less than and not have her nag when you go play golf because you don't give her enough attention.

On another note, the guys I know who date girls that are breadwinners don't ever spend on them like how guys would spend on girls  .
The girl makes the dude split 50/50 on a day trip to whistler although he drives. Then complains how he's so poor and their lifestyle can't be more bougie cause he doesn't make enough yet.

Damn... is that how the dating scene works nowadays?
Back in the day I have certainly dated my share of girls who were richer than I am, and the money aspect isn't too different compared to girls who are in a similar or poorer financial situation as I am. Sometimes we split the cost. Sometimes I'd pay, and sometimes she'd pay. As a matter of fact, there were a few girls in particular that probably paid more often than I did.
I guess I just lucked out?  | |
