First the Cons, thrown out of office for being too rigid, too right and too Harper, elect an alt- right flatlander social conservative because Quebec dairy farmers who want a monopoly defeated their own guy. Then the Dippers and the Greens team up to take BC winging to the margins, defeating the centrist Libs who actually got the most votes. What does this mean for the economy, and our national house porn addiction? Probably nothing too good.

The left coast going left is news the resource industry didn’t want.

The latest Nik Nanos polling data, via Bloomberg, also underscores an erosion of faith in the No. Beaverland. A few weeks ago a majority of people polled thought house prices would increase.

Downgrades of our big banks. NAFTA trouble looming. Anti- bubble measures. Static income. Rising debts. It’s all being reflected in the falling house sales, bloated listings and price weakness that realtors wish they didn’t have to reveal. And now we have a political schism emerging reminiscent of the Trump- Democrat divide which polarizes the USA. Sigh. This is why it’s time to make one of those periodic portfolio adjustments, sucking a little weighting out of American assets and adding it into the European column.

Let’s talk about Nelson’s babe. He has a problem. Needs Greater. Fool 9. I’ll leave the advice tonight for the blog dogs. Love your blog…been reading it for years.

While there has and will always be pressure from friends and family to buy a house, I’ve crunched the numbers and know that the benefits of renting will often outweigh the benefits of owning (unless you can put a value to the self- righteousness that comes with owning).

The Abcs Of Death Online Putlocker. We’re recently married and have a 3 month old son. We looked for a house back in the summer of 2. Our search was limited to Toronto as our jobs and family are here and moving to the burbs and commuting is not really an option.

Since we had the little guy coming and wanted more space than what my 7. Toronto.  The idea was to rent for a couple of years and see how things shake out while we figure out this parenting thing. Financially we’re in a pretty good place and sitting on about $5. Once the bambino was born in February, everything changed and my wife is constantly checking realtor.

While there may be a recent uptick in listings, prices haven’t yet followed and it seems greedy sellers are still holding onto their lottery ticket until some external force moves the pendulum (like more gov’t intervention or rising rates). My fear is that we’ll settle for a dumpy place with pre- war electrical or plumbing (or worse, mold or termites), overpay while the market slides, and most importantly need to delay / re- finance our retirement. I don’t want to throw away all my years of financial diligence and foresight and worst of all, end up resenting my wife or leaving our son with nothing (other than an education) when we die. Watch See Spot Run Online Fandango.

What can I do to distract my wife until the market is more balanced and prices start to decline? I’ve already put forth a pretty strong case for renting another year or so but she’s willfully blind to the long- term benefits of waiting a bit longer and doesn’t seem to care much about retirement or your blog (sorry, I tried).
