In the interest of being fair, I don't like Calgary much either. Not passive aggressively though, just normal aggressive I suppose

Thought this was interesting/depressing.
Except he’s wrong. You wouldn’t even break the top 50. Math checks out though.

Except if you consider interest. Even 2% over 2019 years yields a 2.310717148e17 return on your first years meeting investment. Safe to say you’d be richer than all of them combined.

“You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest. You may charge a foreigner interest, but you may not charge your brother interest, that the Lord your God may bless you in all that you undertake in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.
Deuteronomy 23:19-20
Even the bible is against foreigners. /s

It's more or less the negative narrative of this thread in number form.
Young people working more and more hours to stay afloat. Baby boomers borrowing more to support the lifestyles of them and their offspring. Entry level housing growing further out of reach. People falling into bankruptcy, and that's before the government has even been forced to raise rates.

Dealing with debt is hard. And a new study from Manulife Bank of Canada has revealed that two out of every five people owing money in Canada actually expect to die before paying it off. The report found that while many Canadians in debt are spending money much faster than they can earn it, millennials are managing to control theirs by effectively utilizing technology.

Will be interesting to compare this thread and the "2019 Christmas season" thread over the next few months...

The idea that small amounts of discretionary spending on things like coffees and craft beers is new is total garbage. If anything, it's much harder these days to get the necessary traffic to maintain a small bar or restaurant.
What Millenials are doing less of is making major purchases like cars and houses. It's pretty baffling that people spend so much energy jumping down Millenials throats for spending $100/month on a few extra luxury items like coffees, but totally ignore the fact that many are not spending $800/month on a new car (payments, insurance, gas, repairs).
IMO we avoided recession by kicking the can down the road with low interest rates.

Yeah, this is pretty huge, IMO. There are also less millenials having kids than their parents' generation.
