Also, the banks eat all the inflation risk (granted, not much of that in Sweden). The world of 0%ish interest rates is pretty weird. Also "buying" means not actually owning the apartment, but having a share in a housing cooperative. Including their debt. And if the cooperative goes bust... Not usually a problem, but there's a couple cooperatives with like 60 000 sek/kvm in debt. So you are basically paying several million SEK to buy into almost as much additional debt.

quote:Tom and Mary work with an investment counsellor who charges a one per cent fee on their investment assets. Of this fee, the amount that covers the taxable account is fully tax-deductible. As a result, they can each deduct the $20,000 of investment counselling fees from their taxes. They also receive some tax related and planning advice from the investment counsellor. ... what. Oh, I see: quote:1. Paragraph 20(1)(bb) allows a taxpayer to deduct fees, other than commissions, paid for advice on buying or selling a specific share or security by the taxpayer or for the administration or the management of the shares or securities of the taxpayer. The fees must be paid to a person whose principal business is advising others whether to buy or sell specific shares or whose principal business includes the administration or management of shares or securities. A person is defined in subsection 248(1) to include any body corporate and politic. Why does this exist? Why is general financial counselling not deductible, but specific advice to buy shares is?

"deduct the $20,000 of investment counselling fees from their taxes" isn't the same as "tax deductible". They should be able to deduct 20k each from their taxable income, not their total income tax owing right?

Yeah, with the tenant taking on responsibility for maintenance/repairs, so if they keep it in nice shape they can potentially profit down the road if it inflates in value. How wacky.

eXXon posted:... what. The entire shareholding system is entirely broken from top to loving bottom, and this is just one of the many symptoms of it. As an aside, I've discovered something interesting about manufacturing in Canada: 1. There are no low-end full time manufacturing jobs, these are largely farmed out to temp agencies who in turn farm them out to TFW's. This is why you don't see assembly line work show up on craigslist anymore, ever. 2. I'm too tired, gently caress it, I'll continue this tomorrow.

B'yes the 6/49 is at $64 million right now. It would cost $42 million to purchase one of each possible 6/49 ticket, guaranteeing a win plus ~40 second place prizes, nearly 2000 third place prizes and countless $5/$10 winners. Who wants in? I might be tempted to play if I were a .01%'er, just to troll the public on the greatest lotto win ever*. Still, the fact the jackpot value exceeds the cost of a guaranteed jackpot win means the payoff/risk ratio are actually pretty good as far as lottos go.

I grew up in a suburb at least half an hour out, and that wasn't even close to as bad as it got. My pet theory is that my generation (80's-00's) is vastly more interested in inner city living than the one before it because we grew up as kids of parents in the suburbs and realized exactly how lovely it was. Shame about the whole prices thing.

My friend has a '$5000 ipod nano' because he signed up for a credit card on a whim for a free ipod, and proceeded to max it out. Still a great deal in comparison to this. The nano is super out of date, cant hold a charge, and totally trashed but he keeps it on his mantle as a constant reminder of youthful stupidity.
