      I bought a squire stratocaster for $50 after 1 year I can play pretty much any beatles song. My art has improved too. A pen and paper is cheap and modest. if the door is locked make a new door and open it. I saved 23k in 2023. Ill have saved 100k by 27 without my parents help or guidance.

    We Albertans welcome anyone who wants to come here. I as an Edmontontonian who lives here for 65 years , welcomes anybody, for those individuals who don't want to come here , no one is forcing you to do that. Rudeness and put down of other people's home only makes you look bad, foolish and childish.

    Not even close! I’ve been living in Edmonton since 1982 and the cost of living here has gone up exponentially especially over the last couple years! Utilities, especially. Groceries oh my Lord… And forget about dining out! Even McDonald’s has gotten so expensive I don’t go there anymore! Despite the cost, though, Edmonton is a great city to live in!❤

    This is way off! Try 15-1800$ for a decent place where you have less chance of being mugged at the door and you can’t hear the guy six doors down taking a piss!
    Utilities in a one bedroom are still a little low,
    350$ for groceries, again if you want eat the equivalent to cardboard yeah maybe 350$ would squeeze through! Healthy food for one is at least 5-650$
    155$ for leisure & activities = 1 nights a month and not a big one at that!
    Then you have all the other expenses like travel, insurances, parking etc
    And good luck if you own a home!
    Double this and you may be in the ball park, don’t be silly Edmonton is expensive for what it offers in return except lots of work amazing river valley, incredible summer and winter trails and some of the greatest people I’ve met, and iv met a lot!
    So yeah it’s worth it 😂
