I live in Canada. What the fuck do I do with $180,000?
My parents keep pressuring me to use the money to buy a condo/house 'before the housing gets too expensive' (Like in Toronto or Vancouver) but I pay $200/m in rent here and it's not terrible. They're right, the market is slowly creeping (houses raise by 5-20% a year).
Should I buy a house with this money (and maybe mortgage like, 50k?) or should I invest it in real stocks and shit (no crypto fags, if I was interesting in losing all my money I'd donate it to a fucking animal shelter or a cancer ward)
>misses out on the Fourth Industrial Revolution because he's too much of a brainlet to watch Sergey Speak You should buy a rope, and then hand yourself with it retard. Trust fundies
Jeremiah Murphy
Buy a week's worth of groceries
Nathan Reyes
get a cheeky 10x in crypto then go 80% in BMO for dat dere dividends then put a down payment on a house then pay the mortgage with dividends enjoy the neet life

>Buy a week's worth of groceries sublime
Asher Wright
I think that's enough for a couple nice steaks from barbarian's
Ian Williams
Get a mortgage and pay off your house as soon as possible.
Logan Brown
Kleros. Wait for a new ATH which is obviously inevitable, sell half. Repeat with another investment.
Carter Lewis
Put 100k in chainlink and >no crypto fags, if I was interesting in lo- ok well stay poor and enjoy your depreciating shitshack of a house then lol
Benjamin Stewart
Isn't it absolutely insane that the same banks that pay 3-6% dividends are the same banks that give 0.05% for their HISAs and 1.5% for GICs
Parker Perez
The Canadian housing market is in the biggest bubble on earth. Don’t buy before it crashes.

>house >depreciating >the market is slowly creeping (houses raise by 5-20% a year).
Ok buddy retard
Ian Richardson
Or alternatively, pay off a house entirely in cash on Newfoundland or some shit
Owen Rogers
Use it as collateral to sell cash secured put options at ~10 days to expiration. Lets be a low-T baseboi and spread the risk, so, 30-delta puts on diverse assets, QQQ, ,TLT, and GLD
Right now if you did this you would sell: QQQ 16OCT 273p for $300 TLT 16OCT 157p for $90 GLD 16OCT 177p for $100
Sell 3 contracts of each, backed by your $180k, gets you $1470 in 10 days. Do this 3 times per month gets you $4410 in monthly income.
If you get assigned turn around and sell the 30-delta call. Simple as.
Can sort of same the same, for at least my area, though, my knowledge isn't very extensive. With all the homes now being bought due to low interest rates, I'd somewhat expect their to be a downturn of sorts in terms of actualized house valuations.
The question is, not if house sellers will feel the pressure, but merely, if the pressure will last long enough for them to drop prices significantly.
By the way, money sitting is a huge capital inefficiency. If you're not at least investing it to outpace inflation, your buying power decays with each passing second.
Colton Long
Why not both? Put 3% down on a house, and invest the rest into stocks. Don’t ever pay off your house. 3% interest per year is nothing and your investments should beat that by huge margins if you’re not a fucking retard
Daniel Butler
Ottawafag here. If I had 18k I'd take it and move to to Texas. Canada has no future, at least not one that I want. Even rent is fucked, grocery prices have skyrocketed and their excuse is that "they were sold at a loss they're just catching up now"
Move to Texas. Pay less taxes, pay less for rent/houses. Get better pay for literally any job that you're in. Enjoy better weather. Enjoy more and better food. Have an actual culture and not have to cope with deciding between 4 cities in our entire shit country.
Get a cheap house using some of the money to pay a 20% down-payment on a 15 year mortgage, then invest the rest of the money in real stocks, and use the income from that to help pay off the mortgage.
John Brown
Also rent out the spare rooms in the house to help pay off the mortgage too.
Easton Hill
Where in buttfuck manitoba do you pay $200 in rent
Blake Brown
4 cities? What are the other two
Hunter Murphy
roughly Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal.
Ottawafag until COVID made school online here. Ottawa is nice but the housing market there is absurd and groceries are getting pricier and pricier. Every time I go to the states and see food prices I'm in awe.
Alexander Wood
Honestly though, just buy a split between QQQ and TQQQ (let's say 70-30) and hold. Keep doing what you're doing and that will double in 7ish years if things don't go to fuck again. And even if they do, it'll recover.
Josiah Ortiz
Not even that, it's just the abundance. Every time I eat out in Ottawa I feel fucking ripped off. I went to a 711 in california and they had bottles of captain morgan whiskey for dirt cheap just sitting on the step outside that would have cost $60 at an LCBO behind a glass shelf.
What's even the fucking privilege of living here if all we get is shittier weather and a broke ass economy??? Canadians are retarded when it comes to america the amount of cope is unreal. Ask them for any reason why they don't like America and they give you meme answers and get really fucking mad when you challenge them on their misinformation.
Carson Thompson
Buy like 1 BTC and 32 ETH and wait for 5 or 10 years. Use the rest of your money on a house or buy stocks
Jack Walker
Canuck here with both nationalities living in San Antonio. Confirmed true.
Charles Garcia
Pls tell me if there is a fast track way to get in. I don't wanna live in Ottawa when I'm 25.
Isaiah Diaz
Buy a house in MTL.
Interest rates are inexistant right now and you have enough to not pay a welcome tax on your down payment!
Dylan Mitchell
I’m an ottawafag too (IM OP posting from my phone) considering buying in Gatineau
I agree with you, I’m going to move to New York once I change my career and get experience here but I’m thinking about buying a place in Gatineau for the next 5 years
Charles Powell
You could retire in some rural parts of America
Nicholas Parker
What is a welcome tax?
I’m thinking about getting a bachelors and doing finance, I’m hoping to get into a good school but I haven’t been accepted anywhere yet (or even applied), currently working on my pre reqs
Jason Gutierrez
My sister moved across the bridge to save money and it worked somewhat. Not sure how much money you save honestly. But yeah same, I need to finish school, them get experience just to have something to bring to the other side. Why are you choosing new York? Aren't the prices as brutal as Toronto?
