    To my own research In Canada, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

      Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

      I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than 5 figures within just a year, and i have entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.

      The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.

      People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions.
      I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. He has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.

    I'm hoping there will be a housing crisis so I can buy cheaply when I sell a few houses in 2025. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What advice do you have for choosing the best buying time? On the one hand, I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?

    I am a middle millenial with a fairly high income (more than double the national household average) but I live in an area where houses are 1M+ for war time teardowns. Many of my friends have already left the country, and as much as I am a patriot, it just makes a lot more sense, if you are a professional or are otherwise a higher earner, to head to the states if you are able.
    I like Canada a lot, I grew up in rural Ontario with the total "Canadian experience", but it is a country that has chosen to intentionally grind the young to benefit the established, so, it's probably best to play the game and take the hint to bounce.

      People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.

    • @kirkm5
      @kirkm5 Před 20 dny +2

      I was going to make the same comment. His "balancing effect" comment is nonsense, because if 500,000 people come to Canada, all 500,000 will need housing, while only a percentage will go into construction. Even if 100% went into construction, they couldn't meet the demand. They wouldn't even qualify as tradesmen. It's a ridiculous argument.

    This guy is living in de-lu-lu land. We don’t build houses because we have bureaucracy lined in red tape, until that changes there’s no houses going to be built in time to see change. So bringing in more immigrants is not a solution, we have issues around building, plus the cost to build them is expensive, thus builders don’t want to take on new projects. Sir you need to read the room.

      The reason that is happening is coz when assessed your house is in millions while in the USA when they assessed the house it's not worth that much. So we again will come back to the issue of unaffordable housing here in Canada. and round and round we go where it stops nobody knows coz we all seem so stupid and driven by greed especially our chosen leaders.
