nah man it would take prob like 7-8 years to reach 1,500

View attachment 26570
rent increase is 2.2% a year

2.2% on 1,300 is 28 bucks
lets say its 3.1% the highest it was in for a decade

would prob take like 6 years to reach 1,500

He living the life...that's a ridiculous price for that area

They're building it up quite a bit

I wouldn't even move a condo you're looking at like 2,200 mortage and then like 400-700 for maintenance fees a month

even malton which used to be the arm pit of sauga is pricey now

whats that


i got a decent hospital corporate gig, i do uber sat and sunday mornings, gamble and i shoot the odd wedding and events

Nice! Sounds like u doing well for yourself breh!

My talents revolve around my brain, my voice and my personality. I do motivational speaking, some hosting, getting into some consultancy work, sit on several advisory groups, etc etc. I’m actually on local TV (and sometimes national) several times a year but don’t wanna reveal myself haha.

My boss doesn’t like that I have side hustles but if I can make a G for a gig that takes a day versus what i get paid for my salary I’m taking that day off every time.

always good to see a brother doing well


and i try no kids and thanks to uber and my shooting weddings on the side my expenses are minimal which allow me to go to london and paris in april, lisbon in july and amsterdam next month and japan in november

 

[Guess Who]

yup after he injured droz (was a accident) wwf buried him.

WWF never gave black dudes their shine even hid rocks blackness


even a dude like farooq was bigger than bradshaw and then they chngd up bradshaw to jbl and gave him a title run

Bradshaw was so fukking wack breh. Now the whole shyt is wack and a lot of it is their own doing by pushing these generic white dudes.

yup I used to never ever miss a monday night raw or smackdown, or heat. Even nitro, thunder when wcw was around ecw etc., i was a mark a big wrestling fan. Used to go to pizza pizza when wrestlers like benoit and vampiro and ish used to do signings, used to buy all the videogames, even play those pro wrestling simulators . Used to watch ppvs with the scrambled screen on some stevie wonder just wearing the announcers and imagining whats going on. Even went to wrestlemania when rock beat hogan, i could name every dude on the roster

Now could care less, program is horrible and trash

You living it up breh!! Good shyt! I got a wife and kid so travel for me is harder these days.

Amsterdam is my absolute favourite city in the world. Nothing else rivals it in my opinion. I’ve been trying to convince my wife to move there for a couple years now. I legit got depressed after going to Europe and seeing the lifestyle over there versus how we living over here. They have shyt like work life balance for instance haha. It ruined Toronto for me. I still love it here cuz it’s where I grew up but shyt, Toronto is like that girl you thought you wanted to marry until you went to a conference and met someone incredible that you clicked with in a different way and you realize that there’s more out there.

Where you going in Japan? I’m trying to hit Japan next year for the formula one race.

I never been to amsterdam wanted to go last time i was in london but went to paris which i hated instead. And whats funny amsterdam is also magic johnsons fav city to travel to as well. Can't wait to check it out.

And I know what you mean when I was in portugal i was like why would anyone leave this? Warm weather year round everything is cheap, food is cheap, crime is low, women are beautiful, transit is cheap and great, the work life balance people take like a 3 hour break midday and go chill eat relax by the beach then go back to work , mad vacation time. It reminds me of when I go to vancouver (although its expensive to live) for vacation, it's so laid back everyone is just chill its not this grind grind grind

I was eating at fancy restaurants steak and potatoes with a waterfront view in lisbon and my bill was coming up to 8 euros with a drink no tipping nothig

here in toronto go to wack ass pickle barrell or ish and i gotta pay lik 35 and tip

Sounds like paradise breh. Wow.

With Amsterdam, I felt like I landed in Narnia my dude. My experience was absolutely magical. The amount of people I met who said they came to Amsterdam once and decided to move there was in the dozens. EVERYBODY is nice. You go downtown and you see zero homeless, zero litter, zero crime. People just wanna drink their half pint of Heineken and light up and enjoy the day. People get off work at and meet up with their friends and family in a park or at a cafe and shyt like that so it’s real communal. In toronto everyone is grinding so I only see my friends a few times a month. Over there people see their friends a few times per week. The bike lane system is INCREDIBLE. Enough space for four riders side by side and separated from cars by a partition. The architecture is stunning. Clubs are dope. It’s really multicultural and everyone speaks fluent English as well as other languages. Only place I ever been where 12 year olds was saying excuse me and please and thank you on the bus and shyt. Public transit is fast and easy to navigate.

I wanna go back so bad. So bad.

We all knew Ford would fukk up. He had zero election platform.

Wynne wasn’t so bad imo. I didn’t like her at first but then I had a one on one with her and she articulated her vision and it made a lot of sense. The thing that was getting in the way for her was her own government she said. She related to me that she knew she was spending a lot but it was an investment in health and education which she felt would pay for itself a generation down the line. Anyway, the way she explained it made sense to me.

I’ve also had the “pleasure” of meeting Doug Ford and he is just a weird dude honestly. And not that smart. And will say anything to get you to like him. Not very authentic.

Wynne was abysmal and she ruined the liberal party
People hate ford but we can all be real and admit that there was a waste of funds
