Re: in a real mess

Hello PSB,

When I left the UK, I was really eager to make my life in Canada - or so I thought. Part of me stood at the airport thinking 'what the hell am I doing?' and part of me thought 'I can't...

Thank you thank you thank you. I didn't pick up a copy today so would have missed it and I'm expecting to fly out late November. I'm flying from Vancouver so this will save me about $400+.

Re: Tips on Frugality

I think it's hard to not have a credit card in this day and age but it does take willpower to not be tempted by things! And I do see your point in general.

Re: Tips on Frugality

Credit card interest doesn't have to be as high as 18-28% and I don't know anyone myself who is paying that. I'm not sure I'd agree that it's the average rate either. Most people I know are paying...

Re: Hotel reccomendations - Maple Ridge?
