How is everyone feeling about the property tax increase proposal... I usually don't worry about this type of thing but a 9.7% increase is stressing me out.

I don’t agree with the property tax increase but in the recent election, how many people ticked “yes” to all the infrastructure investments needed. Clearly enough to justify proposing such a large increase.

The government’s revenue comes from taxes. If we collectively agree to increase spending, there’s no other way.

Now we have to live with it.

Trying to figure out what to do after it gets approved. 9.7% is already excessive for someone who's earning barely $70k with 2 children and a wife. Trying to keep a positive thought about it.

I can’t afford to own property.

How do I feel about giving government more of my money, not great. But it’s the world we live in.

Crazy high taxes are never good

The NDP provincial government and everyone who voted for them definitely disagrees with you. At least when it comes to taxing the 1%.

Hey beautiful people,

Loan payment question. I have two federal loans. One has no accumulated interest and is ~$110k. One has about $19k of accumulated interest (I previously made an embarrassingly low amount of money), but the total is ~$140k. While the interest is still frozen, do I: 1) make payments on the $110k principal amount only to maximize driving it down; 2) make payments on the $140k principal amount only to maximize driving it down; 3) make payments on the $19k of interest on the $140k loan; or 4) ??
