talktoolooseOur RRSPs ("registered retirement savings plans" for you foreigners) have earned dick-all in the six or so years we've been contributing. One thought that has crossed our minds is taking out a $100,000 mortgage on our house and using it as a down-payment to buy another in the neighbourhood which could have two apartments in it. 'Cause property, at least, is a good investment.
I have to crunch a shitload of numbers and they better look real sweet at the end...
BECAUSE I FUCKING HATE THIS IDEA!!
Having tenants and another house is like having an IT job where you're always on call for the care and feeding of a tempremental network.
Okay, life, here's the deal: let me quit my day job and make art all the time and I will be a landlord/superintendent, k?
Unfortunately, we wouldn't be making any money to replace my lost salary, just paying two mortgages and taxes.
Uhh, I should never have mentioned it to Snake in the first place.
