Has anyone ‘cashed out’ of Vancouver
moncler outlet online My husband and I are in our early 40’s and have 2 kids live in a 2 bed condo in Vancouver. We were lucky to have gotten in the market over 10 years ago and can now sell and have a pretty good amount of equity. We need more space for our growing family and have been looking at either cashing out and moving to the Maritimes (halifax NS or Moncton NB). We have family in both places and really like it there when we visit in the summers. We could buy a house and be mortgage free with our equity and even put a good chunk in rrsp’s. I could stop working and my husband can work remotely from anywhere. moncler outlet online
cheap moncler jackets The other option is to move out to Langely or Maple Ridge as many people are pushed out of the city due to the sky high real estate prices for a detached home. We have no support of family and would be scraping by to pay a high mortgage. It isn’t really appealing but staying in a small place is not either. We feel it’s important to have a yard and some space, but the idea of doubling our mortgage, me working a full time job commuting 1 hour each way to downtown is not very appealing. We really like being central to the amenities and to my job, but we also would like the quieter lifestyle for the kids. cheap moncler jackets
moncler sale I am still on the fence about leaving the west coast for a few reasons, that I don’t know are just fear of the unknown, or emotional attachment of my lifestyle here as there are many things about the vancouver lifestyle I really like and am afraid to miss. I love the scenery, the choices of food and cultural diversity. The weather is comfortable and I am don’t mind rain and don’t like the idea of moncler sale 6 months of cold and snow. moncler sale
moncler outlet store I like Halifax and the idea of family to help out so my husband and I could travel or go on dates, not commuting to work cheap moncler jackets from the suburbs of the lower mainland and the freedom of being financially free monlcer down jackets (to a degree) and having my kids grow up with space and still be close to the ocean seems like a dream. On the other hand, I feel like the Maritimes is more isolated, higher taxes, cold during winters and seems like to be a bit run down and feels (sorry to sound offensive) economically depressed in comparison to vancouver with it’s new cheap moncler shiny high rises and infrustructure and such. I am afraid I won’t have the options I will have in a smaller city such as health care, silly things such as a broad range of acupuncturists or even sushi! I guess it seems silly, but I am worried I will miss those small things. moncler outlet store
moncler outlet uk Has anyone else been in this situation? I have a feeling others will recommend Victoria or moncler outlet sale another city, but the appeal to the east coast is also family is a big draw. moncler outlet uk
I know if quite few people bolting out of Vancouver but they have either 1) the luxury of being citizens of other countries as well or 2) almost retired and being able to spend 6 months out of the year (summer down in the US.
One Canadian couple was in a flight back home with me yesterday (Charleston to Seattle), they sold their house in North Van (both retired) and now they spend the winter in Charleston and summer in Vernon BC.
cheap moncler outlet If you are weather sensitive, moving out of southwestern BC and remaining in Canada imposes compromise. Even if it is on the water, Halifax is quite colder than Vancouver in Winter. cheap moncler outlet
cheap moncler jackets sale While this is not exactly the same situation it’s a bit similar. I moved from the GTA to northern Ontario. While I didn’t exactly “cash out” as I didn’t own property I was never going to be able to and the thought of owning a nice house, land ect had it’s appeals more than life in a big city. cheap moncler jackets sale
moncler outlet I’ve since learned I probably would have been happier in a small apartment vs a big house. 9 months later I am just as homesick as when the initial appeal wore off. I know exactly what you mean without sounding too offensive to others about run down compared to a place where there is new construction daily and vast infrastructure. While Halifax is not that small if you enjoy going to concerts and going out to eat which you mention your options end up being greatly reduced (fortunately still lots of good sea food since you’re still on the ocean). moncler outlet
cheap moncler The moncler mens jackets real problem with a move like cheap moncler outlet this is you’re going for broke. If you sell your condo and buy a house it would be very difficult or possibly impossible to go back. Even if you could resell that house the condo will have increased in value far faster putting it out of reach. This is without factoring employment. You say you’d like the quieter lifestyle but really you won’t know until you do it. Visiting is nothing like living. Learned this VERY fast. You mention sushi again I think Halifax probably has decent places, don’t know for sure but I’ll give you this short story. Found one “acceptable” place. The quality was alright and it will do but we could not figure out why the sashimi took so long to get to us. Usually that’s almost instant at any Sushi place I’ve been to anywhere (all major cities). The reason was it was frozen and not typically ordered by locals so it had to defrost. Again the sashimi was fine but things like that and other foods you typically eat, you can go without them for 6 months and not think too much, but the rest of your life? That’s another story. cheap moncler
moncler outlet jackets Of course you may be willing to switch to a meat and potatoes diet (and lobster) if it means having 4 bedrooms instead of 2, a yard instead of cheap moncler sale a balcony ect. If weather is an issue the yard may not be usable for much of the year. Amenity wise really only Toronto and Montreal are comparable to Vancouver and everywhere else would be a significant downgrade which may or may not be a big deal. I’m certainly not saying that large cities are better for everyone, but if this is all you’ve known you may find the change too great. Really it’s impossible to know until you do it. I could have worded this exactly the opposite and told you to go for it and it would have no bearing on if you’re going to love it or not. The only way to know is to try. moncler outlet jackets

cheap moncler coats Yes, we have ruled out Calgary. The biggest reason for going to the East coast would be the family, proximity to the ocean, cheaper housing and also we do like the friendliness, down to earth people. We would moncler sale outlet really be moncler outlet store starting over in calgary as we know nobody there. If we decide on a big city we will stay in lower mainland as we have my job as well as friends and we like it. cheap moncler coats
moncler factory outlet Thank you for the great advice. We haven’t decided what to do, but perhaps rent out our condo and give the east coast a trial for a year? moncler factory outlet
