As much as I wanted to spend most of that down payment on a porsche, I got sick of the rental rat race here. When do you think you will make the trek out here?
Anytime between November 2015 and May 2016. The rental market in Van is horrid and I also suffer from the curse of animal ownership... it's seriously like a fucking petting zoo in my house.

Spoiler!


Complicated situation for us though, between where I am at financially and my current work situation it's probably best we delay the move until early summer 2016.... but I really don't want to endure another Alberta winter.

We're also fixed on a house/townhouse, so the price point we are facing is somewhere between 600K-1.25M.

My spouses grandpa lives in an old home in deep cove in a nice area, I keep telling him how much I love his house so that hopefully he sells it to us for a decent price.

... in reality though I'll tear that shitty old bungalow down in a heartbeat and build some gaudy monstrosity for the neighbors to moan about.
