If you are referring to me..my parents have been dead over 20 years...I moved to California nearly 30 years ago and made my way...ever since...I have NEVER failed to make less than 100K a year and my partner 250K.

Ergo (if you know what THAT means) , we have no basements in California, I live in Lake arrowhead (where the homes are over 600k)
Shall we continue to embarrass you?

Actually, I think you are embarrassing yourself my dear. Remember, nobody likes a braggart, and pride always comes before a fall.

Re: What would you do if your parents gave you $5000 in cash? POLL ONLY
My family owns a small piece of property in Costa Rica in a little town called Cohuita on the eastern shoreline. It was purchased by my parents over 20 years ago and hasn't gone up much in value so they're selling it. The property was always to be shared equally among my parents, myself and my brother and sister. So anyway it's getting sold and I'm getting my share of the pie ($5000CAN or $3837.14US) paid to me in cash in about a month.

I'm middle class and live near the beach in Vancouver, but I work hard for it and I've never had $3000 in cash on me let alone $5000... so I'm unsure what to do with it.

What would you do?

When I had my latest open heart surgery, the insurance would pay 1 million american dollars tax free,,,I lived..kinda suz...my partner would have all that cash and i lived. Yet, I would do it all over again...Life clings to me like a disease...

Personally, I'd buy about 10 tubes of Canadian Maple Leaf silver coins, that's about 200 coins and would cost you about $3,750. Then I'd save the rest for when I needed it.

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

Is that right?

I pay $1,433.00 per month on my rent.

Do you have any idea how much a home costs here?
 Quoting: Person445


800 a month in San Bernadino mountains FOR A HOUSE. 3 FLOORS.

I have been to Montreal on many occasions...eat of Rue St Catherine in the French side..and was appalled about all the renters..So nobody owns a house? Even in Chicoutami...nothing but renters...

Canada sucks
 Quoting: tucson ranger 68473522


A house in my neighborhood would cost over 2 million. The cheapest house in Vancouver would be at least 900k.

I make over 100k a year too.. but it's not enough to own.
 Quoting: Person445


Canadian money...
And my EFT is about 18 percent on 100K,,,we usually take home 9K in cash each 2 week pay period..but having 5 homes...we get a huge tax refund. And my partner just landed 14k in free cash this week, tax free..."Investment Income"

 Quoting: Person445


I am fortunate to be in that same position a few times over.

I have thought about this many times and the GLP phrase 'rinse and repeat' goes through my head a lot!

This is a great opportunity for you to buy a few things cheap and then resell them for more. Think about garage sales, auctions etc. Keep doing this until you have enough money to buy a low cost rental property. It might take awhile, but you need some equity. Or brainstorm, brainstorm about current trends and how to monetize them. I always remind myself that someone, somewhere is rich off of the 'pet rock'.

Good Luck!
