Finally made it into the market but my spouse died so now I have to sell and live in a room because I’m ineligible for the mortgage

Just Canadian things.Please don’t tell me my SO should have more money or should have done better. We left the city for the middle of nowhere only the beginning of this year. Moving was at least $5k, not counting when we sold our previous place and needed to make special arrangements like storage, not counting real estate fees, lawyers fees. Who can afford to rent? 10 years ago when I was renting (prior to marriage) I was paying about $700/mo and finding a reasonable place for under $1k was possible. Now, it’s not. Not even in the boonies. I could rent a room for the same price here or in Toronto!!!There is no dream. Either you’re very wealthy or you get nothing. via /r/canadahousing https://ift.tt/3qlhWaj
