Remember how much you used to make fun of the old guys at the nightclub when you werre in your 20's



Guys will date broke ass women as long as they are hot, hot women will rarely date a broke ass guy unless he is a criminal covered in tattoos that scares her parents.

Bro you can just live with your parents until you’re 35 and able to afford your very own studio lol

20s i kinda agree, but 30s are not a throwaway decade.. you should be setting yourself up for the rest of your life in your 30s.

What rate did you put in? 5% would return a $2326/m payment on 400k. Property tax on such a property would likely be under 2k/y. $2800/m would likely cover strata and property taxes. Most banks can probably get you under 5 nowadays which means that payment dips even lower.

If that is really not viable, what's wrong with having a roomate(s)? I did that too for a few years, and it was a really enjoyable time. Those guys are my family away from home, and we are still in frequent contact.


I don't necessarily think of "compromise" as being a bad thing. Since resources are always in a limited supply, every choice we make is already a compromise. And most importantly, compromise isn't the same thing as a downgrade. Say I choose to live in Tsawwassen. It's further away, and I gotta put up with the Messy Tunnel. But I get a bigger house on a bigger lot at $1.5M instead of $2.5M with a lower density community. If the favourable qualities are what you are after, then the compromise is anything but a downgrade.

And yes, purchasing a detached is totally impractical, unnecessary, and maybe even undesirable as a first home in this time and location in history. Your time and money can be better spent on other things.

There’s so many people that would rather die than live with their parents lol. They’re the same ones complaining about housing costs.

Many don't have a choice either way, aka westernized parents who give you the boot once you graduate.

[bcrdukes]

What if you dropped out instead?

Joking aside, I often wonder if multi-generational households are now becoming the norm compared to say 10 to 15 years ago when parents gave the boot to their kids once they graduated either high school or college/university? I'm confident Stats Canada may shed some light on this.

Do kids even pursue post secondary education anymore? I'm not sure.

[whitev70r]

I wonder if I'm reading Carney right. He's reserved, holding back, when US upped the tariff to 35% for things outside CUSMA after Aug 1st, he didn't pound his chest (like a Doug Ford) and countered with raising tariffs on certain US goods. He looks soft and like he's not fighting back, no 'elbows up', but instead he is considering lowering or removing some US tariffs. BECAUSE in the end, raising tariffs on US goods might make you look tough but essentially, tariffs make things more expensive to the avg Canadian consumer. Meanwhile, Trump raising tariffs on everyone in due time will see inflation go up in the US. There are indicators that their economy slowing down.

[yray]

let's be honest, majority of us canada trade is usmca compliant

substantial transformation is the keyword

[Jason00S2000]

Guys.... there is no trade war. Trump and Carney are 100% buddies when the camera is off. The decline is being managed and everyone is supposed to be constantly distracted with things that end up nothingburdgers, like the Epstein thing.

Carney's been explicit that the US trade deal stuff is his 3rd priority when it comes to the economy - it comes after resolving interprovincial trade barriers and finding new trade partners. The former, he believes, would more than overcome the GDP impact of the tariffs, the latter is finding redundancy from an unreliable trade partner.

He's been pretty pointed about how the relationship with the US has changed forever and I don't believe he's saying that just as talk, his POV is that we need to work with other nations.

He's not the only one who isn't making the US a priority - Brazil has 50% tariffs on them and they're moving on with life rather than trying to negotiate with the US. Why negotiate? Japan allegedly had a 15% agreement with the US a couple weeks ago (Japan said this was untrue) and now the US is saying it'll be 30%. It's total chaos with the US.

He’s busy with the important stuff
