Here's an article about how lovely drug pricing is in Canada, with a short bit about someone in a similar situation as that reddit poster - in her case she has coverage but only because the drugs are on an approved list: http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/this-is-why-canada-has-the-second-highest-medication-costs-in-the-world

Just came back from the BWM capital of the US - Las Vegas. I only had two conversations about gambling, but one of them was particularly fine. The guy was telling me that "the trick to winning at Craps is to find a table with the right synergy and to leave it before the table cools off."

You laugh, but just switch "craps" with "tech sector ETF's" and that dude could be a finance correspondent for any major news source.

I was really excited to gamble the time I went to Vegas, but it was a huge disappointment for me. All the machines are just huge LCDs with buttons you push, and you don't use cash, you use vouchers you get at a machine. I ended up playing some electronic roulette for a few dollars. I'm sure there are ways to have more fun gambling there, but at least it was GWM. We did play a lot of Sigma Derby at the MGM where we stayed though. That's an awesome giant electromechanical horse race machine that still takes quarters, and there are only 4-5 left of that in the world.

I still owe what I paid for my home 15 years later. Doesn't seem normal...quote:It is a mobile home. I paid about 35k and still owe about 35k. They tell me it's because of the type of loan it is but nothing else. I'm sure the interest rate is high my credit isn't great. Am I really this screwed or is there something wrong? e: his only other thread involves discussing his estranged daughters and asking if it's normal for his 15 year old daughter who is "not the brightest tool in the shed" to be dating a 20 year old. A helpful redditor reassures him that a generation ago, it was normal for girls to be courting and getting married at this age so don't worry, she's physically mature and it doesn't make a difference whether she's dating a 15 year old or 20 year old

It's as valid as any advice about gambling, aside from "Only gamble money you are not afraid to lose." That advice is actually very good.

In which case she gives the money back and is out a bit of embarrassment and time, while he gains nothing. I can't imagine she would give him his cut before the buyer confirmed everything was in order - what is the angle here? Is it impossible that it's just a weird guy with dollhouses who's making excuses to spend more time with some young girl he met at a bar?

He probably wants her SSN to see if she's from a 'undesirable' part of the country. He's just a weird old man. She shouldn't do it because it sucks selling poo poo for other people and 15% minus fees isn't worth the effort.

Yeah I took it as a given that the dollhouses don't exist, I'm just not sure whether the old man's primary hustle is running away with the cash or running away with the girl.

I have 2 options, buying a place to live in or buying one to rent out for it's benefits a little later down the line (if there are any). Ontario if it matters. Single income. For reference, Ontario is very tenant friendly and unless you live in some super rural setting, 200k won't buy poo poo. His understanding of things is so poor that this isn't even wrong

Not from or living in Canada but this Canadian story is one of universal first-world BWM - bit long but worth the read: https://thewalrus.ca/canadas-middle-class-is-on-the-brink-of-ruin/?src=longreads Standout quote: quote:A bankruptcy lawyer I spoke with has helped clients in just this fix—clients such as the Toronto architect crushed by $105,000 in tax debt and $75,000 in credit card debt who still managed to vacation in the tropics four times a year with his wife. Or the divorced, self-employed Toronto chiropractor who made $4,900 a month and insisted that both her kids attend private school—until the Canada Revenue Agency froze her accounts.

Same accountant from article:quote:But they’re still living very close to the wire. “I wouldn’t say it’s paycheque to paycheque,” says Kervin. But it is: the couple now nets $7,738 each month. After putting aside $100 for their children’s resp, half their income goes to pay for debts ($3,554), childcare ($800), and the Mazda and Toyota (leases, insurance premiums, and gas for the long commutes to work add up to about $1,600). The rest of the money goes toward such necessities as rent ($1,700), utilities ($400), and groceries ($600). Once all the bills are paid, the couple is left with a monthly surplus: two bucks. Boggles the mind. It is difficult to feel sorry for people who put themselves squarely in the situation they are in.

I still get kind of excited thinking about the surge of rage and horror that poured through me the first time I stumbled that thread and read "force fridays" as a way to justify spending and had to look it up to make sure it was really a thing.

I went a few pages of just her posts from the beginning and end, it gets depressing when she gets gestational diabetes and has a very sick baby. It's not a feel good story of star wars merch and spending the rent on "the whole merch booth."

Not ants, it got scared shitless from those straps you see hanging down between its rear legs. It kicked out backwards and hit its jockey bad in his leg. A loose leather strap seriously injures a human, kills a six-seven figure race horse, and traumatizes all onlookers and a lot of forum posters.
