FRUGALITY

 Once in  a while I browse Craigslist's rental houses, apartments and condos. There are 1 bedroom house that's only for $1,400. Is that cheap? Answer is big NO. There are 3 bedroom house that's only $1,500/month but that contract had started before Year 2020.  After year 2020 all rental homes, apartments and condominiums had changed and doubled its price. 

It's true that if you are living on a 3 bedroom houses, the utilities are over $500 to $$650 depends on how big the rooms are and because heating expenses is huge and costly in Canada. Sometimes, most houses here are using gas and hydro (electricity). Some people don't really use hydro or gas much during the winter months then what happened their houses get moldy and have mildew. Their rooftops get moss. The replacement of roofs in Canada can cost a homeowner's $50,000 to $75,000 replacing all the roofs on the roof top. However, if you are a tenant those roof replacement + pressure washing of the exterior walls, painting the walls + cutting grass or landscaping usually should be maintained by the owner of the townhouse, apartment or condominiums. 

So many retirees are suffering and struggling in our present generation because of the  HIGH COST OF LIVING. I heard there is an increase in pension and OAS but that's not enough because once the cost of GAS & OIL increases, all commodities will go up as in automatic. 

NO PLAY MONEY? Well don't bet or stop gambling. Buy one lotto ticket only worth $5 if there's any. LOL. The odd is one in a million. Stop drinking alcohol. Do not spend beyond your means and BE FRUGAL. 

WE ASKED THOSE POLITICIANS TO DO THEIR WORK PROPERLY& EFFECTIVELY BECAUSE THEY ARE PAID BY CANADIANS & THE PEOPLE OF CANADA Permanent Residents ( Immigrants, Tourists, International Students, etc). They earned $250,000 to $500,000 per annum and they have to serve Canadians as much as they deserve to be paid. 

Actually, they are working so hard to get the deal in the US. The tariff trade deals receive a another pause from Trump. To think over if TARIFFS ARE LEGAL OR NOT. ha ha ha! Jokers!  

NO. NOT REALLY FUNNY...SORRY. TARIFFS CAN BE LOWERED to at least 5% to 10% with conditions. If Mr. TRUMP still continues to demand BETTER NOT TRADE AT ALL. We tried not to trade before and trade with other countries. Or just keep those products here available for CANADIANS ONLY. Its good to have SURPLUS OF GOODS or commodities than nothing at all. STEEL & IRON? We will need it so badly in the future.
