No health means no happy IMO.
The 1.7 mil does not seat everyone for the reasons listed here. So many people live outside their means and the banks love seeing people line up to borrow/rent more money!
One vital key is paying off debt as fast as you can . I recall going for a loan when I first moved here as I had an old z-24 with 300k on it ( poor mans Z28!!!)
Denied . Would not loan me $ without any investments and me with 30 grand in student loans at the time as I went out of country ( USA)for my second degree with the dollar at .68.
Times were tough.
I recall stating in my head that it was hard to invest for the future when I was in so much debt in the present!!!
I did take the advice and afforded 50 bucks a month into an RRSP and was able to secure a small loan a year later.
I thought writing a book being a recent University grad with all the debt and had the name picked out....... Trying Times!!!!
