Lol we were renting a small old 3 bedroom cottage . Rent was cheap like 1100 a month. I was working in Hamilton and the wife wanted nothing to do with living downtown. This was 5 years ago now. I'm actually glad it happened. I made a promise to myself to never be that broke again, and now we are buying our first house in a few months.

Good for you, at the end of the year you have 12 cheques to show for it. If you don't have an agent PM me and I can recommend a great agent in Hamilton. All she sells are working mans homes, no McMansions and I know she will get you the best deal possible. I wish I knew you were in the market, she just sold Mom and Dad's home in Rosedale and the young couple that bought that place have a solid well maintained home.

I love Cambridge, very nice area. Have a pal that lives on the opposite side of the river from 24. Funny layout since they amalgamated Hespler, Galt and Preston, your in Cambridge now you aren't now you are now you aren't. We are listing this spring and are talking about Brantford, close to my wifes work and some good deals still.

Cliff, even if you are fortunate, and play the game just like you were told, you still get screwed. Banks and governments just change the rules. Remember when the government promoted GIC's by making them tax free ?? The tories changed that in a hurry, and it cost folks a lot of money when they went to cash in on retirement. Your pensions are now only as secure as the government allows. I'm not the only person to lose a pension because of a government loophole. The Black's reneged on 50% of their Dominion Store employees pension when they sold out to A&P a few decades back. Too bad we can't cut a politician's pension in half. Government loophole made it legal.

 

bigugli,

 

I understand exactly what you are saying about the rules favouring the rich, the politicans and Bay Street. I am the executor for an estate where the only remaining thing to be settled is a pension from a company that went bankrupt. In a nutshell the employees for that company were told if they contributed to the pension fund they would receive a lower hourly wage but would get the tax benefits of an RSP and have a retirement pension.

 

The person died SEVEN years ago and we still can't close the estate because the damn lawyers and accountants responsible for dividing up the assets haven't spent it all yet. For 3 yrs we have been told next year everything will be settled and you will get the money, each year though there is less and less money that hasn't been eaten up LOL.

 

Now 2 of the beneficiaries of the will have passed away as well. It is under provincial control and the MPP's staff says they are sorry and they have many others from the same company who are still alive and NEED the money complaining too. Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do to speed up the process. It has been farmed out to a firm specializing in resolving these types of things, because the Harris guberment had decided their friends could do things better in a private company than the government could... SERIOUSLY, it was an arm of the same damn firm specializing in setting these types of pension schemes up that allowed the company to spend the employees pension money instead of putting it a proper trust in the first place...

 

So in short just because someone does follow the rules and put that 10% of their income away doesn't mean when they need it, it will be there for them....

Vote them out to vote in a different bunch of doe heads. But regardless and granted there isn't much to choose from we all must vote. We get into a discussion like this sitting in the boat or icehut and guys complain. Asked if they vote and they say no way, I say you don't get to argue.

 

I choose not to vote because i dont agree with the system thats put into place. Until the day i see a politician or party that represents extreme change in our society to serve the people instead of banks and globalist corporations, i will sleep peacefully knowing i had no part of stripping good people of their freedom and well-being. Here is a link of Russel Brand interview that really hits the nail on the head about how i feel about voting. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3YR4CseY9pk#
