Condo harassing me

crankcall said:
Not meaning to gloat, I have been extremely lucky and blessed with good mentoring and quite by accident surrounded myself with successful people that through osmosis showed me things that have mostly worked out. There is good debt and bad debt and knowing the difference is everything, that and just dumb luck.
I told my kids, being friends with people that have cottages and southern vacation homes and want to go to university is no harder than being friends with joey bumfester that wants to ride his BMX bike and smoke weed, and long term one plan may be better than the other.

I'm not really complaining about your posting style, just having fun, but you do come across a certain way sometimes(as we all do I'm sure)
I think the road to success is a mixed bag. I know some superficially appearing dummies doing very well, and some real smart guys struggling. The right ingredients need to be in place. And I'm in total general agreement, hang around with four poor people, you'll be the fifth poor person.
 
It sounds a bit mercenary to pick friends that way though. How good a friend would one be to those friends? Drop them if they go through a bad spot?

I find friendships and marriages are more easily sustained thru a lasting common bond. When things change it's tougher sledding. And what's a friend any?

Come on guy. I enjoy your usual humorous posts, and I do see merit in your argument against buying in such a high market, but not everyone shares the same *opinion*.

Renting is not the only way to good Finances.

I never said it was. I also never said that no one should buy houses.
Everyone is in a different situation in life but this all started cause a guy got laughed at for renting.
There seems to be this arrogance from home owners towards renters, its quite hilarious at times, yet a lot of the time its done by people who have no idea what level of debt they're even in, how long it will take them to pay it off, what it truly costs at the end or that perhaps it might even go south.

I was one of the ones laughing at OP, but it was more trolling a common troll.

He was asking about solving a parking problem -- which people are likely to have at any apartment building or condo -- and he got an answer he didn't like; buy a house with a garage. I don't have any other suggestions for a guy who is breaking the rules at a property he doesn't own.

I've been listening to 'the housing market is going to crash' for 10 years now. Buddies of mine put off buying a place because they thought if they waited they would get it cheaper. Then they got married, had kids, and then decided they needed a house and paid a lot more had they not waited.

There are alternatives to buying a $900k bungalow in Toronto. I live in a freehold semi -- link detached, only the garage is attached. I have no condo fees, I have a garage, and my purchase price was less than 1/2 of your examples. Even if the market crashed, I doubt we'd be hit hard in the GTA. London, Kitchener, Kingston, etc, might all be hit hard, but the GTA is where the jobs are and where the immigrants settle and bring their money -- and there is a lot of Chinese money coming this way. And even then, I just wouldn't sell. My house is over 1/2 paid for already (3 years since purchase), and I bought way lower than my finances allowed as I didn't want to be house poor. I got a long mortgage because I could -- and am now paying double the mortgage rate to pay it down faster.

Do houses cost money? Sure... I have put a patio door, front door, furnace, a few windows, and a garage door in my place. I also finished the basement and added a washroom. It is well worth it though. I have owned a condo, and I have rented before, and I have never been happier than now -- with my own workshop, my own garage for my two bikes, my own large deck with bbq, my fenced in yard with a shed, etc...

If you are happy renting or in a condo, so be it. I was not happy so I moved on.

Oh, I knew it was government run but was hoping it stand on it's own two legs, not spill over like say, the education portion of property tax. We're living in a freakin commune.

Except it's a commune designed to benefit the wealth structure like banks and developers.

Thread diversion - Random question from another Archer fan - do you know what 'DOM' was in reference to (painted on the boulder in that scene).

Old movie Fandango about a road trip to Mexico. I don't recall the actual context from the movie tho. I do remember that there is a little cult following for the movie and there is a bunch of people looking for the DOM rock were the scene was shot

Bloody well done. DOM was on the rock when they shared the bottle of Dom Perignon before being deployed or going AWOL re: the vietnam war

I now return you to the original thread...

I was sort of thinking that with all the taxes everybody throws into the common pile we're subsidizing each other on different fronts, we're all linked. To be sure the wealth structure knows how to butter it's bread.

Nope, just works for me . I've distanced myself from people for fraud, marital indiscretion (undeserved) and rampant substance abuse (for which they wont accept help and have gone through point one and two.) Not saying I don't have good friends that play at a different plateau, but water finds its own level.
