No because I can entertain my self for free. My GF does not enjoy watching me learn graphic design or produce music or mix or go for runs or lift weights. She likes to go out for meals and drink watered down drinks in the general crap hole establishments we have in the north of England.

Hell I actually enjoy working late at night. I am in between about 3 tasks atm and doing pretty decent work. Try getting me to do that at 9am and it's like sucking piss up a very thin straw. Difficult and unpleasent.

I have a guy at work who took $30K out of his mortgage to 'fix his windows'

on top of that he ended up buying his wife a new truck (even though she works 5 minutes from home), got her crazy amounts of christmas gifts, 1 for every day of christmas. He also has 4 children.

I say to him "How the hell do you afford it?" he's like "it's ok. it's on my mortgage. It doesn't cost me much"

DUDE IT COST YOU $30 GRAND!

but some people don't think of it that way when they're paying it off for 45 years. ------__-------

i'm super broke...but I know that. my parents got $10 blurays for chirstmas. My gf got a bit more, but nothing fancy.

I buy a case of beer every weekend and that's my 'entertainment' for the week. The worst part about it is i feel 'responsible' enough, but I'm still broke, I duno how people do it.

Fixing your windows is not a stupid expense. Own a home and let it fall apart or own it and maintain it. Home ownership ain't cheap.

I assumed BTG meant that the $30K went into those other things he mentioned, as well as fixing the windows. How could fixing windows cost $30K? Or are there special windows that you guys need over there, because of the cold, etc.?

Windows are different in colder climates. you also have to consider the size of the house, how many windows there are to change and so on. It cost 20k to do all of my moms windows last year. Labour and materials are not cheap. Windows get changed only every 20 to 25 years. If you want them to last, don't cheap out. New windows, roof, and so on are great selling points too.

BTG, go to school and get a better job. That is how people do it. By being proactive and working for it. There is no such thing as a 45 year mortgage. You are broke, because you are content being broke. If you weren't, you would do something about it. Canada is full of opportunities for those not too lazy to take them.
