Burn a bridge
|
|
I guess I can see the wisdom behind not burning bridges.
I know of a situation where a couple broke up amicable split , and a friend of her cousin met the ex and they hit it off, and often said thank God I wasnt mean to her or burned that bridge . The opportunity would have never presented it self or who knows fate might have brought them together online, not on M2 but other sites. |

I dont see how Trump's tariffs are hurting the economy or the tax payers holding the bag?
In the case for farmers, ughhh, dont get me started, how about the government stop giving subsidies to the rich farmers and allow competition allowing smaller farmers to compete, you know get rid of the barrier to entry. As much as I hate bailouts for everyone, we should start with cutting subsidies to agriculture and abolish the FDR era subsidies program. |

Rent versus own, an FYI

Tom , do you live in a rented house or an apartment/condo?
There are some advantage of renting of course as you mentioned having the landlord fix things etc. But as a homeowner the equity being built can at times trump renting and having no equity ( pardon the pun) If you rent particularly as you get older and you have no savings, sooner or later it becomes problematic in my opinion. Sooner or later one has to downsize, being a home owner and once you've paid off your house you can sell and have the money to at least live comfortably and with some dignity assuming one doesn't have children to rely on. For me as a single guy it makes no economic sense to rent, but I know when it comes time that I cannot sustain the property and believe me Im a lazy bastard, I have a cleaner, someone do landscaping , the only thing I enjoy doing is clearing snow because I have a snowblower, its just a toy to me. I clear my snow and a few of my neighbours because it takes me minutes vs shoveling. but I know one day I wont be able to but at least when I sell my house I will have to money to live comfortably. I think that is why most people own, its just the dignity or the joy of accomplishing something. |

When the perceived value of a house goes up (USA) property taxes go up with it. What the government refuses to take into account is a good part of that is inflation. If the government was forced to take inflation into account taxes would decrease resulting in government income going down. Every nation co-ordinates their tax system differently. The USA may have some taxes higher than Canada but I'm sure Canadians pay other taxes that are higher than in America. Ultimately the people pay to support the political spenders......... indianadave4 we are taxed to death up here to pay for the social programs which some are a waste of time and resources thank you Liberal government. the one of the few tax reliefs I mentioned earlier we are not charged a capital gain tax when selling our principal residence. If we have rental properties and we sell we are charged a 50% capital tax , in your country assuming you kept the real estate past five years your capital gains is I think 20% that is a huge difference. Another reason why when I buy American Stocks I hold on to it a minimum of 5 years to trigger that 20% capital gains. And the Canadian government wonders why some folks incorporate outside our country, its not because we are not patriotic , its because we are tired of getting our pickets picked and the government wasting our money on stupid programs and welfare for some dead beats. Its even worse if you live in Quebec. |
