Is it time to buy in 2025?

From the Mak Family... I hope everyone had a safe and relaxing holiday! Over the break, we went skiing in Quebec, and it was a blast. The weather was so warm on the first day that we didn’t even need coats! The only downside? My son, NTM, is growing like a weed. Puberty’s in full swing, and he’s already in men’s size 11 boots - likely outgrowing them by next year. I’m doing my best...

Buying Our Home After 2 Years

From the Mak Family... It's almost Hallowe'en and my son, NTM, has already decided his own plans, costume and schedule! Now that he's a teenager, this might be his last year Trick-or-Treating—and I'm not sure how many photo ops he'll allow us! He'll need a ride to his target neighborhood, but for the first time, I don't have to chaperone him in the cold! I’m sure he'll have a blast, and I...

How I Saved Thousands on Property Tax

From the Mak Family... My son, NTM, just started Grade 8! He's excited to be the top grade at the school and it will be interesting how next year pans out when he starts high school. The first day of school also coincides with his birthday, so there's an official teenager in the house! He's now wearing size 10.5 shoes, which is about 2 sizes higher than me, so we're all hoping he's going to be...

The right phone plan for your kid?

From the Mak Family... Last week, we explored the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto! We enjoyed a range of exhibits, from older, European sculptures and paintings to modern art and interactive installations. Then we wandered along Dundas to get yummy noodles for lunch and dessert from a local bakery. The thing is, my wife graduated from Fashion Design while I graduated from Engineering....

Walking downtown to the Shoe Museum

From the Mak Family... We're always looking for interesting things to do as a family, so this month we went to the Bata Shoe Museum because it's been open for decades and I've never actually been there. NTM, my son, asked "Why can't we just drive there?' Well, first of all, driving will be slow since the Gardiner is down to two lanes in both directions for the foreseeable future. But also the...

Go-karting is fun!

From the Mak Family... When our son, NTM, was younger, we allowed him to ride one of those kiddie go-karts which was very slow but very safe! The track was a simple oval and he couldn't go to the big-boy karts because he wasn't old enough nor tall enough. Fast forward a few years, and we felt that NTM was mature enough to ride the adult go-karts. This is a picture of his first experience with...

Real estate – April 2024

From the Mak Family... Recently, my son, NTM, has been asking us about savings and stocks to build wealth. At age 12, I feel active income is more important than passive income and investing into building his own skills and experiences would get better long-term results. Still, I don't want this opportunity to go to waste, so I went to Dollarama and bought a piggy bank for him to save his...

Real estate – March 2024

From the Mak Family... There are so many great parks and places to hike around the GTA. Last month, we visited the Lions Valley Park in Oakville. (It's located near Neyagawa and Dundas) The park has a really fun trail along the Sixteen Mile Creek. You can walk under the large overpass and there's even a kid's playground! We're happy that it's getting warmer and we are excited to finally enjoy...
