I told you before how housing works up here lol. And we dont have to pay for land, remember??? And why would I quit renting when everything I pay is reimbursed??? And no way is it 180,000 for materials only for a 6 bedroom bud. Its wood not gold lol

I approve this message! And to brock, we might have different careers but you know darn well we think alot alike. Youll be fine, as will that beautiful lil family?

Brutal... Priorities, some people lack them. I still dont own a boat or a new truck. Well i have a a tinny but... Ill buy that later Id never buy a house and rent other than a company. Too much crap. Hope it works out for you

It was like that in grande prairie 10 years ago/till now If I had the time Id buy 5-6 properties here now and flip em to the mining companies that need to house employees And just to clarify, im by no means rich, so I hope nobody takes my posts as me being a pompous arsehead lol. But we are what Id call, well taken care of or comfortable

I can. Hard work, wise investments, planning etc. And we have 7 kids I am 37 and could retire right now if I wanted too (not gonna happen) Again, different area though. Im in rural nw ontario and I could build a 6 bedroom house on 3 acres for 180,000 easily

Easy as pie to get in the union here. Especially as a tradesmen. Even non union tradesman work here

Hahahah

The whole genre of rappers that you cant understand a word is the worst This is a parody BTW buts its pretty spot on

Gawd id never listen to anything from 3 6 mafia, nothing from no limit soldiers etc Anyone that raps/sings about purple drank and crap like that is the worst. I just seen a video with that crap in it and grown men are drinkin it in baby bottles??? What the frig man

Oh of course! I love my daughter like crazy. But it also might have to do with her biological father dissappearing 5 or 6 years ago, or at least play a part in it

Nice! Change the chorus though lol Sick beat too!

Oh doesnt help she has friends that have useless parents that drink with kids and crap like that. What a bunch of loosers

Thats exactly why its our way, or the highway. It breaks my heart but thats how it has to be She has time to change that though and I hope she does. Hormones kicked in and oh boy! This girl was once fearless and my best companion to trek into lakes with tinnies, go trekking, play baseball/soccer/hockey etc. Shes got it in her.... But its her choice. I cant decide her path

I wanna swear here hahaha. If you pass off one thing to your kids(besides the obvious) it's a work ethic

So get a government grant at 18 and go to trade school while working. Its not rocket science. Half the 18-25 year olds I work with are all getting trades while workin and making 35+/h with works trucks, live out, accomodations etc

Thats true and not true. In many cases like mine, I had to move to where the work was. And in mining or oil and gas you can move up quick! And most companies pay for your tickets So when there is a boom, pack up and get your butt out there to work. Save money and dont be an idiot. If you wanna get a degree, get one where there is always work ie lawyer/dr/RN or better yet get a trade and youll only be outta work when you choose your outta work lol

Great post lucas! Its very true! Not only do you have to work hard these days ya gotta pray for some breaks too, and thats just sad. where I live is much much cheaper cost of livin. No idea how many of use make it in the gta etc.

Yeah akr its def weird. My parent werent wealthy thats for sure, but they sure worked hard and treated me fairly. Only thing financial I ever got from my dad was $1300 when I graduated for first and last months rent payment and out the door I went. 17 and on my own working two jobs and saving. I lucked out and got decent work flagging at $18/hour and then I did rockwork for rich cottage owners on the weekends and they paid really well. I banked everything I could. My dad told me if you cant afford everything off a weeks pay, you cant afford it. That really stuck with me. By 20 I was in a unionized sawmill making $27/h to start and later $32/ and I still just kept banking, looking at stocks and buying shares in companies. Then chased the big bucks in mining and oil and gas in alberta. Worked like a savage, all the OT I could and made off like a bandit lol. Came home,took a crappy $15/h job to be home everynight and spend time with my kids/wife. Then i lucked out and they built a solar farm here so I got into an engineering company that paid really well. That project ended and down the road a mine started. So with that I switched over there and ill be there for at least 6 more years and its really easy work but high paying. Still living cheap as heck though hahaha

Our 14 year old daughter is having a rough go lol. She thinks shes entitled to everything since turning 14 and hitting high school. Annnnnnnd she gets nothing. Well she gets food and drink lol. Tell her to do something, even the smalleat task, and I get the eye roll and a slammed door. We just tell her keep it up, cause its just gonna get worse for you. And in 3 years you are out the door with nothing. If she thinks her account is gonna save her Ill remove everything before she turns 18

I suppose you actually have to follow up on these calls? Thats just brutal

Id say heiroglyphics is in that discussion for sure One thing I love about the roots is that they dont just rely on a dj or producers. They can all play instruments very well. They not only kill it they are very skilled

Awesome! Man def. Jux really killed it. So much good stuff out of that camp

See, thats a weird thing right there. All the work I did for my parents/grandparents I wasnt asked, I was TOLD. Eventually I really liked it. To this day my mom or dad need help I jump and if I dont they will tell me they arent asking lol.

Thats why ya get the 12-15 year old kids. I was on the gring at that age, $1000 bucks would last me all all summer and some!
