    Diving into why I decided to invest in Nova Scotia / Halifax / HRM, and why I continue to feel good about investing there.

    79. There's Got To Be More To Life Than Just Going To Work and Living For The Weekend...Right?!?!

    79. There's Got To Be More To Life Than Just Going To Work and Living For The Weekend...Right?!?!

    One day, I had a realisation about my finances. It was truly the moment that altered my financial future entirely. I realised that what I was doing wasn't sparking joy, and it left me feeling like I was on autopilot. 

    I didn't like the feeling, so I changed things.

    Sometimes we just have these moments: thoughts and/or feelings that alter the path of our lives. 

    How can we have these feelings? How can they change us? 
    Let's dive in

    78. Why You Need To Work Hard To Be Lucky ... In Your Finances

    78. Why You Need To Work Hard To Be Lucky ... In Your Finances

    We all have some degree of privilege yes. Some more than others, yes.

    BUT that  being said, privilege doesn't mean you'll be successful. Just the same as having less privilege doesn't mean you'll be unsuccessful. 

    While privilege certainly does help tremendously (like starting a race earlier than your competitors), it doesn't mean you'll get ahead (especially if you're not even starting the race haha)

    Let's talk about the kind of work you can do to "be lucky" and what I've done to "be lucky" (while taking my privilege into account)

    77. Nova Scotia Rent Caps, Fixed Term Leases and Airbnb Ban !?!?! How To Build a Sad City

    77. Nova Scotia Rent Caps, Fixed Term Leases and Airbnb Ban !?!?!  How To Build a Sad City

    Okay, so I've been telling you all I'd try to piece my opinion together on Nova Scotia's rental increase caps, fixed term leases, and the short term rental ban in Halifax. 

    I had to take some time to get my opinion together and make it (somewhat) cohesive.

    The truth is, I've seen the end result in Halifax for the rental/housing market.

    I'm not clairvoyant, but I've seen Montreal experience the same thing, with a sad sad ending for landlords, homebuyers AND renters.
