I massive splurged at a burrito place the other day and got the chips + salsa + bottled drink and it was $20.00 man... the fuck

We make our own food mostly except for weekends... but my gf is gluten free and nut free so she adds a tonne of cost to things as anything gluten free is anywhere from 2-5x as expensive, if it was just me I mentioned before I could get by on very little but with her in the fold and all the fresh food I make for my doggy furbaby I'm probably in the $500 a month territory.

On the real estate front........ I had sent a video to a few friends highlighting the discrepancy in prices. My best friend lives in Bears Paw in NW Calgary in a mansion, but he used to live in Tuscany area, so sometimes for fun I look up properties there.

On my parents street where I grew up in Richmond, there's an older house with a light reno inside... it's whatever they call those houses where half of it is 1 floor and half is 2 floors, I forget the term for them, so it's not a big house and it's $1.788 million. I found a very nice finished house in Tuscany backing onto green space for $535,000, a townhouse next to the market area with a double side by side garage for $415,000 and another huge house with a MASSIVE backyard also with green space on both the front and back of it for $820,000. You could literally buy ALL FUCKING THREE of those places for the same price as the shit house near where I grew up.

All 3!!! My friend enjoys a very, very nice life there. He left 10 years ago from a townhouse in Richmond and he's now in a mansion and just bought a $375,000 Porsche on top of all his other cars and toys and he owns like 8 properties or something now. If he had continued to live here all this time he'd be doing okay, but they'd be nowhere near where they are today.

Living here is fucked. I am very, very close to being done with this place.
