They should have taught us all this in school 😭. The CALM (Career and Life Management) highschool class in Alberta never covered this stuff.
I just finished CALM in Alberta and there was a whole project dedicated to moving out. They must have changed the curriculum lol
@@DesmondMonroe-oi4by it depends on the teachers. We did fake job interviews and research on a future job. But there was never anything on moving out or bills or taxes.
There used to be a class called "Home Economics", it was ditched in the AB school system late 80's, too bad, it literally prepared kids for moving out and gave loads of practical life hacks and tips.
that's why we're here 😎
You probably could swing that rent with a part-time job, just as long as you never took a sick day and were also working a full-time job.
LMFAOOO 😭
This hurts my heart for my kids. I had a hard time in Edmonton at at $300/mo when I graduated HS. My kids could never afford what rent is now, and there is NO cap for landlords to raise the rent in AB. 😢
lol that same apt in Toronto is $3000
Same in Vancouver
😳
Here’s a tip
If you’re one person, living alone, wash your clothes in a plastic tub in the bathtub
It actually goes by a lot faster and easier than you think and saves you a ton of money
You only need to go to the laundromat for your bedsheets
This is great advice. Just wanted to add on that I often put a tablespoon of whole or distilled vinegar in as well to help soften and freshen laundry.
@@czynicism 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
For rancid work socks: I put them on my hands like mitts, a sploch of dish soap and lather like you’re washing your hands.
In Denmark and Hungary the deposit ir more likely to be 2-3 months of rent + you also might have to pay 2-3 months of rent in advance.
In Denmark you also loose most of your deposit - this is the main reason why I can’t afford to move😅
I miss when my apartment was in the $600s in 2016. Now it's in the $1100s in 2024.
Thank you!! ❤❤
Are you seriously saying you can afford that rent price on a part time job?
The point is that sure, you may earn more than 1650 a month but that doesn't mean you can afford 1650 a month in rent. The first character's misunderstanding that she could was the teaching moment.
@@rrmj105 no the teacher was saying yes you could afford 1650 a month BUT it’s actually going to be a lot more than that
no we're saying she'll have to save up more money 👀
Landlords cannot legally require a security deposit in Ontario. But you need first and last months rent.
I have no place to live so I’m in a big rush to find a place unfortunately my credit isn’t the best but not because I missed payments but bc I have a high usage rate and I recently received two collections for something that was supposedly paid off already , I have no money rn and welp ya
The best financial advice i've ever gotten is to give up on canada and move to America. The bar is so much fcking lower. I have my own house & car. If i was still trying to make it in Canada i'd be in my parents spare bedroom :(
Lmao the rent is never just the rent it starts at 1650 then the apartment adds another 100-200 in fees like trash valet, parking, parcel locker, amenities, etc 🙄 then you get to add all the fun stuff on top of it like utilities, renter’s insurance, wifi, etc
1650?!?! I’m heading to Edmonton apparently.
lol, i got an apartment for 1525 in downtown Edmonton. 2 beds and 2 bathroom with laundry attached. It’s totally doable with a roommate.
You are fortunate. Happy for you, that makes the rent far more affordable.
@@dlo111 parking spot does cost $90 however and the contract was 14 months. There was also a deal where you don’t have to pay deposit. The place was newly renovated with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. I can see a bit of the river through the windows too.
2 beds 2 baths for that price is so good!
Can you do 5$ lunch but Asian food
