So, I saw a remax commerical about how you can see prices of places anywhere in Canada.  So, I thought I would take a look at what it would cost to live near Humber.  I am pretty sure it is the last place I want to live out my life, but it would be nice for school.  The one place I checked out was three bedroom (so I could rent out the other two rooms) for 100,000.  Assuming a 25 year morgage, and a 5,000 down, I would be paying monthly $700.  EVEN if you factor in two other peoples rents at a total of, say $300, that still means find new roommates every year, furnature, power, water, food, and tansit costs.  Of course, this would mean I would have my own place, as in own.  Which would be amazing.  But I don't think that this is the time.  A lot of people may be like "DUH TROY!"  But, in reality, I could probably make it in that situation, but I don't think I'd enjoy it.  I THINK I will stick in residence for my stay at humber, or a close-by place to rent... but i would rather be in rez then rent me thinks.  Even if you rent close by, rez is much safer/closer to everything.  But I guess I really wont know until I am there.

One thing that I have thought about for a while now though is kinda, um, Orwellian maybe?  I was thinking about buying a small chunk of land up north.   For example, this property

Not sure if thew link will work.  But it is a treed lot in the Muskoka that is about half an acre.  $13,900.  It may sound like a waste of money, but, if the world start falling apart, at least I would have a closeby refuge.  I know it sounds crazy, but look at it this way.  If I put 2000 down, which i could do by the end of the summer, and then payed $100/month for 15 years... I could own it.  My own littlke peice of land.  Okay, it's crazy.  And that is why I blog.  Gets my crazy ideas out.  It is still fun to think about though.  Hum, maybe I should price out some land in the Yukon.  Bahha.
