  1. Im assuming you are referencing PK. Not sure how many Habs games you watch but PK is one of the best in the league. He often controls the play in the offensive zone and can exit his own end on his own which is possibly the best asset you can ask for in a D-man.

    Haters gonna hate ;)

    I think Pk is awesome! Moreso as he matures. 2-3 more years and hes gonna be one of the leagues biggest draws.

     

    Hes learning quick too. Notice how he handles the media now vrs his first 2 years?

     

    Great talent and a superstar in the making( even though he already is to canadiens fans)

     

    Personally I love the guy

  2. Another thing we do is have a percentage of our checks deducted into savings accounts for our kids. Its not much but it adds up quick.

     

    Also the adult change jar lol. All our change goes into a safe. Last year it had $3300 in it. And we didnt even notice that change was gone from our pockets

  3. A friend of mine was telling me about a young man he knows,

    He does not go out on the weekends, has no girlfriend, doesn't eat out or even buy coffee, has no hobbies, I think he says he is like 25 and his goal is to be mortgage free by the time he is 32.

    I admire that young man's displine, I wish I had 10% of that when I was at his age :)

    But what a shame, he should enjoy his young days a little, he will never feel or see that age again.

    No girlfriend???

     

     

    Thatyll save millions???

  4. Geez you guys should just take the easy road and win the lottery like I did???

     

    (And thats a joke, no I cant pay off your mortgage lol)

     

    Honestly, we make good money. Obviously saving some of that is important and why we do what we do. But there is something very gratifying about foraging with your family, or baking breads together etc.

     

    Id love to have a 60,000 truck and a brand new bass boat but honestly, its just not needed, so I feel no need to do so.

     

    Plus this way of life teaches our kids alot. And gives them far greater odds at not only succeeding in life but also to take care of themselves and others if need be, IMO it breeds a better person.

     

    Same with hunting and fishing etc. You just tend to appreciate nature and friends and family that much more.

     

    I coulda stayed in the oilfields and been retired at 40. But the cost would be on my wife and kids. I mean really one year I worked 362 days in a year. Nothing less then a 12 hour day.

     

    Not alot of time to enjoy life with your family doing that

  5. pretty soon City of Toronto won't even deserve a crappy hockey team. All this talk of banning contact hockey in the GTA minor leagues!!! What happens when the kids have to face teams that play real hockey? They all pull a "Leaf" and skate away from the puck.

    Lol my son has to deal with that, its sad. He hits me pretty good on the outdoor rinks though?

  6.  

     

    We did something similar to that a few years back. We had a Dollarama derby.

    We should do it again. But different then the dollerama derby.

     

    Any gear you choose but you have to use the lure mentioned in the thread.

     

    Pats on the back for the biggest of each species. Then add the lengths up.

     

    Whos go to lure is the best of the all lol

  7. If your on a fishing trip and plan to keep. Fish multi species.

     

    Nothing wrong with a stinger full of walleye, pike, crappie or whatever floats your legal boat.

     

    I do this when I can because my large family. 4 walleye is but a mere snack lol.

     

    Ive grown fond of a 5 lb pike. Lotsa meat and good for broth.

     

    Save your fish frying oil, your frybread making oil, your fried potatoe oils.

     

    They save on oil and with every use the flavor gets better

  8. You know what else saves money?

     

    I cook for a large family as most you know.

     

    Dont throw anything away, in fact cook extra where you can and make pre made meals for your kids lunches instead of buying garbage snacks etc.

     

    all the local kids always say our kids have the best lunches lol.

     

    If you have kids or not. Cook or prepair fillers with meals. Rice can be a delight if you cook in some broth and season. Use salads as well. Make use of potatoes, cheap, delicious and easy to prepare 100 different ways
