I'll let u pass @boxcar definitely nice to have family support

...Over the years out of necessity due to being broke/cheap. It really makes all the difference in the world to be able to fix things on your own.

My two pieces of advice for young people are to speak with a financial advisor often, and to learn skills that will help you in the real world. I learned so many basic carpentry, plumbing, electrical, mechanical skills...

I also think Thunder Bay has one of the cheapest housing markets in Canada.

Yeah right as I bought my house I got a job with Bombardier building train cars. I think I made $21 an hour then. I flipped dirt bikes on the side too and made a good chunk of change with that to help with repairs on my house.

Yes no chance you find a house that cheap anymore. I think my first mortgage rate was 3.29% too.
