Quotes of the Day

Some people react to anxiety not by withdrawing, but by seeking attachment to a someone who isn't a good fit for them or doesn't reciprocate their feelings. It's natural to want to be liked and accepted, particularly for people who struggle with self-doubt and low self-esteem. But sometimes getting caught up in wanting to be liked detracts from the equally important issue of deciding whether the other person is someone you want to be with. [2014] - Shannon Kolakowski

You should travel with a Wi-Fi hotspot device. You can buy an unlocked device on Amazon that works with local pre-paid SIM cards and some international SIMs. A second option is to sign up for an international data plan with a company such as Solis (soliswifi.co). Solis is a portable Wi-Fi hotspot that works in over 130 countries. No SIM card is needed! Instead, you enroll in its service plan and activate a pass when you need it. It's not as fast as a local 5G SIM card, but it's a reliable and portable connection you can carry with you. The fastest and most reliable international Wi-Fi device I've found is Netgear Explore hotspot with EZ Mobile Data service. [2022] - Kristin M. Wilson

Contact the lawyer referral service in your community. Under this service, sponsored by the provincial law society or a provincial division of the Canadian Bar Association, you can consult with a lawyer for about half an hour for either a nominal fee (usually $10-$25) or no fee at all. Make sure you emphasize that you want a lawyer who specializes in real estate--ideally, condominium real estate. If you did not obtain the referral through the lawyer referral service, ask the lawyer over the phone what a half-hour initial consultation would cost. In many cases, it is free as a marketing goodwill gesture. [2006] - Douglas Gray

To make sure you can move quickly to borrow if needed, keep an eye on your current ratio (assets over liabilities--at least 2:1 is good) and quick ratios (liquid assets divided by current liabilities--should be over 1:1). [2000] - Robert T. Kiyosaki
