My New Updates per Provience, as well as some Pure CRAP I read.
Quote: People are a lot more comfy in their rental apartment than ownership. SERIOUSLY! why because many can't afford mortgage rates the way they are. I don't know about you all but I sure would LIKE to own my own place! Comfortable RENTING I call BS.
Quote: Calgary and Montreal growth Relativly affordable, Ok who is it affordable for!!! Not Me.
Toronto: 1 bdrm: 2,620
Halifax: 1 bdrm 1,909
Montreal: 1 bdrm. 1,800
Calgary: 1 bdrm 1,728 to 2,448.
So now how is Calgary andMontreal relativly affardable Mr Lasds, who is the Senior Economist for Finance Canada.!
Adrienne Tanner Van Journalist Globle and Mail, Van Sun. I quote again. Most individuls can get by fine on nearly 5,000 a month unless you are living like a king. 10k a month is very very confortable assuming you are debt free. About 56,000 a year! Has this woman Lost Her Mind! I sure don't get 5grand a dam month! Global News also says 42% plan to work past 65 years of age, more than a half can not afford to RETIRE! Most families in Canada between 55,000 and 65,000 on living expenses each year. She really should check her figures again cause I don't make anywhere close to any of them numbers.
Now our Food bill.
Average Grocery Bill for a family of 4 in Canada 1,357.37 per month up 1,065.60 from last year 2022 !
Rising food costs, Supply chains Problems, Labor Shortage?, don't get that one, maybe it's the seond job they think we should get! Are making food pricer. Again Budget! Bite Me! I do budget again and again. I can spend up to 8 hours looking for the cheapest best deals adding and taking stuff off. Or I am told to dip into my emergency savings! I don't have any money I can put away! My cuboards have all no name brand name, sale items, only and my fridge as well.

2 Average People between 510 and 820 per month on food- Spend Thrifty 119.40 per week.
Again with the inflation of rent, food is becoming a Luxury! The Pic of the apartment is Calgary, downtown, I am gonna take a guess It does not LOOK like that, cause my place sure don't look like the pics on the website not even close! Well staged. Not that I could afford it even if I liked it. But rember we were told Calgary is resonable...
My monthly income is aprox 1,700. a mth after Rent Food, utilities, insurance, cell, and misc. I have 57$ left! I have just cut my cable, selling my car, and cut data on cell. I would cancel my cell all together but I do need to talk to my kid and grandkids and my aging father! and keep in touch with my friends. I have a couple in collection why cause I can't pay them, I would if I could but there is NOTHING left Nothing, take me to court whip and beat me you can't get anymore money out of me!
Again Thank you all for signing, keep passing it on, We will not be quiet any longer, We are people who work hard, who are just trying to survive, I am not sure where the dam work shortage is cause, We are all working our asses off to barley get by!
