But most people didn't. | Are you telling me that you had the wherewithal to save every extra dime from when gas was $1.10 just in case it went up?
I think I speak for everyone here when I say "were you always this full of shit?" Quote:

combined that with high telecom costs, i figure it's getting shittier and shittier to be a middle class canadian as time goes on | agreed.
Having just got back from the US, I was shocked as to how expensive food is there too. My average lunch cost for a family of 5 was at least $50, and the two nights we ate "fancy dinners" were over $150. This is in USD too, so add $1.35 to those numbers. It hurts when you think about it. Quote:

91 gas is killing me right now... $1.60 a liter :pokerface: | We have friends who basically think that as long as they keep working, it will all be okay. Their head's are deep in the sand hoping that the 649 numbers come in and they can retire early. Life sucks, so let's go lease a G37! It's crazy. Quote:

The best times we had were when I was transferred to Montreal and my girlfriend (now wife) came with me. It sucked having to learn a new language while attempting to build a career, but it was so worth it in the end. Quote:

I left my 6 figure job an hour away for a 5 figure one with a 10 minute commute.
Now I have less money and more time. It's a good trade-off as long as your hobbies aren't expensive. Unfortunately mine are..... |
