It allowed me to start my own business and not have to worry about how I'm gonna keep making my payments for things. I have to make very little to come out ahead now that I'm not working for my stuff... I'm making roughly 15% of the income yearly I was making in calgary and at the end of the day I come out with more money in the bank then I ever did in calgary..
I have infinatly less stress, and my desire for things has basically disappeared. Living with very little stress free is worth way more then living with everything you want and full of stress...
I'm never owing a cent to anyone again, If I can't pay cash for it I don't need/want it

Thanks. That's what I've thought about as well and I know that if I decide to sell my house here now I would more than likely move someplace else. I haven't really thought about that to much though. Even driving distance within Calgary, real estate isn't really a whole lot more cheaper. I'm not really in a bad situation but I can see how it potentially can get a lot worse rather quickly.
