COST OF LIVING IN CANADA | MONTHLY EXPENSES | OTTAWA, ONTARIO

[@moneybee]

Kristine, I LOVED how you broke this down into such clear and concise categories! You explained the different costs extremely well! With travel being my favorite past time( and the main motivator for my financial goals) videos like this are so nice to contextualize what it is like to live in certain places around the world! Being in the USA myself, I'm always curious about the similarities to Canada. Just subscribed, keep up the great work!

[@TheMapleDiaries]

Oh wow! Thank you for the kind words! I feel more inspired and motivated in creating top quality content videos. I’m so happy that you like this episode. Please feel free to suggest any topics about Canada and I’ll try my best to create a vlog about it. Thanks again for your support! Give me a shoutout when you visit Ottawa someday! There are so many beautiful places to explore here in Canada! Keep safe.

Cute Amber 💕 Will surely ring the doorbell when I visit Canada 🇨🇦 ☺

[@TheMapleDiaries]

Hahaha! Please ring the door bell when you come here, tita. Amber will open the door for you😅

Hi! It's a very useful video! Just to verify with your budget of groceries (for homecooked meals, toiletries, etc) which is 700CAD, so addiional 200CAD for the occasional dining out? So that's 900CAD to cover food and groceries?

[@TheMapleDiaries]

Thank you! Yes, that’s only for groceries. Dining out is excluded. But please keep in mind that time has changed and the inflation in Canada got worst. This time, our food cost or grocery jumped to almost $1000 monthly. Budgeting is very challenging nowadays.

[@charbelkhouri9653]

your mortgage # (including tax) was that monthly or semi-monthly. if its monthly that really cheap considering real estate prices especially if it includes property taxes.

[@TheMapleDiaries]

It’s $810 bi-weekly which already includes the property tax.

[@charbelkhouri9653]

@@TheMapleDiaries you got lucky. That's not the real cost to live in Ottawa nowadays.

[@TheMapleDiaries]

Yes, we feel lucky. Our realtor made our life easier!

[@cherrym8159]

Hi Kristine, we're in Toronto and thinking of moving to Ottawa because of the low cost of living. We're impressed with your monthly housing mortgage. Which places can we get that same amount of mortgage? We're currently looking at Kanata area. Thanks

[@TheMapleDiaries]

You can check areas like, Barrhaven, Riverside South, Orleans. Kanata is also good but it’s a bit far from downtown. Try to reach out Royal LePage Realtor, they helped us out with our new home. Goodluck with your move!

Hey Kristine, love your channel. Its very informational indeed. We are a family of four and are planning to shift to Ottawa. Kindly give me a general idea of the rent for a town house. I am open to any neighborhood provided it has good schools and nice family environment. Thanks

[@TheMapleDiaries]

Thanks! I have created a vlog for that topic. Please check kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZvVo2htaceKmck Goodluck with your move! Keep safe.

[@ChaiSamosaAndHighway]

@@TheMapleDiaries hey Krintine..thanks for your reply, I have already checked that video. It has a tour of your beautiful house. Although I had other queries, that which neighborhood one should look for from a family point of view especially education? Thanks

[@TheMapleDiaries]

Family friendly areas with good schools are very common here in Ottawa. You can check suburban areas such as Barrhaven, Riverside South, Manotick. If I were you I’ll check the Ottawa school board website, it shows some school rankings by category. It a good reference guide!

[@ChaiSamosaAndHighway]

Thanks Kristine. Appreciate your prompt reply😊

[@sasikala33330]

Hi, your vedios are useful. Excellent. My son is going to move to ottawa carleton university. Can suggest me any place to stay safely.

[@TheMapleDiaries]

Thank you! He’ll be good in downtown. Lots of place to stay near the school. Will save him from travel and it’s more practical. Goodluck with your son’s new endeavor.
