The Johnny walker gift packs are on sale at wine and beyond for 85 bucks. Good deal.

Bought a couple bottles of Dalmore 15 at Coop for $115 each with double stacking deals, normally priced at $210 (though that's a ridiculous price for it). I know peoples opinion of Dalmore are low...

I mean i have lost money on select stock investments, but overall I am up.

Totally, I wish mine were in full day school. One is in half days (5 yr old) and other is 1.5 yr old so at home. Spouse is stay at home, but the little one is like a heat seaking missle hell bent on...

Been working from home since March of last year. I can not wait till I am back at the office. Young kids at home while trying to work makes life challenging, no work/life balance, no real breaks and...

I should have a photo of the deal by GYMVT, so I can pass it along if you need photographic evidence of the 50% deal.

I have not been laid off. But I moved countries for a project that was just starting up (already one year in). Hopefully when it finishes us, Calgary is doing better. Company is still laying off...

Hahahahaha, that pink cape is glorious. I might have to start my own underground luchador league

3 reason why I didn't sell.

1) I bought in 2015 at 5 yr fixed since I had no idea this would happen, so my mortgage penalty would have been over 50g (I assume)

2) I think the house has dropped...

I had dreams of retiring at 35, but definitely will not achieve that. Big house (mortgage of 650g that I am actively trying to destroy) and wife becoming a stay at home mom means I likely won't...

Yup, Calgary is a weird beast. But I fully agree with you, one of the major reasons I am trying to reduce debt/invest is so that the next oil recession doesn't put any stress on me. In fact, I want...

I 100% disagree with this. If you are making 300g,you would probably get around 180g net though it would be (not spending 300g). Unless you have a massive spending problem, you should be able to...

I'm fully on board with this. It will be more bins in my alley (currently is a clusterfk but oh well). It good for the city to finally catch up. But the free composted materials will be nice. The...

Im only 30 but I tried (and failed) to convince my younger co-worker that renting a 2500 dollar 1 bedroom condo is a bad idea. That is my definition of me not giving a fk when someone then complains...

Taking the wife to a Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary in Central Mexico

Survived, took an expat role within Company. Still layoffs going on.

In terms of FIRE calculations, owning a house impacts the calculation by reducing your anticipated yearly needs; therefore reducing your "number". I liked the blog milliondollarjourney as it is...

I put under 5g. My last car was 2003 Crown Vic, bought in 2011 for 2.5g at 198 km, drove it for 5 years to 250 kms. That cars was the ultimate beater, never gave me any issues but ugly as can be. Now...

Just to add to the beyond ballers threads / click bait and when you hit a positive networth. When do you plan to hit 1MM in networth.

I like to subscribe to FIRE blogs and such. Though I don't...

The problem with selling the house is you could end up taking a big hit as if you are forced to sell, it will almost certainly be in a bad market. Potentially people may be underwater if they put 5%...

Beyond meet up it is. I asked coworker if his visiting buddy was on beyond. We will hit up a cantina nearish the arena for beverages first.

Funny enough Jwslam, G and I just bought the tickets to the Lucha Libre on Friday. So we are going to that together.

I live in mexico city right now. Use uber, its cheap and safer. What are you looking to do museums, night life. Check out bottle prices at restaurants, tends to be about the same price as 6-8 drinks....

Get a doctor recommendation to go to the Sleep Center. They do full on sleep studies there. Its expensive, around 1g per study (one to prove you have apnea, maybe not needed) and another study to...

Company still going through layoffs but I am fairly safe now. Still in oil and gas transportation, but became an expat with same company.

SOLD!

Complete home gym for sale here. Full cage with chin up bar and dip bars. Bench with weights. Lat Tower attachment. It's an excellent set up. Not going to part out.

Looking for $1,200 OBO, PM me...

As I will be going through the exact same thing, one thing you are forgetting is taxes. Will owning a house in Canada still make you pay Canadian taxes? Since you will be renting it out, you can...

Hi Jordan,
Can I get townhouses in Marda Loop in the last year.
Thanks!

I guess if you assume that each refugee comes as a family of 4, that would be a commitment of 150 million from the government. While a lot, we are doing a 6.1 billion deficit in Alberta alone. Its...

One big thing that most people don't realize is that the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society (CCIS) requires any refugees to be privately sponsored by a group. This means that a group of people are...

It's a recession...

Calgary Herald title for the latest article says fish mouth leak so it was a good blow out I would bet.

Email for success!

Yeah, it more or less did. My group will prob go for lunch and hope for not bad news when we get back lol.

Well, this is nerve wracking. Just waiting....
They sure are taking their sweet time to tell people

Heard Transcanada let go of some contractors today. Not sure about employees

Ill come by and pick it up if it's still available

You can get rid of co2 but then you are still burning fuel. This creating more emission that aren't from a large source.
