[@NatePolmateer]

Way lower than this dad of 10 kids LOL! Great video Griff! I do enjoy you stepping away from your regular stock videos and doing a little more personal.

[@gordonc8930]

cant wait for the renovation video of your new place!!!! thanks for the video!

[@GriffinMilks]

Coming soon!

[@LivingSwedish]

I love this video! There is so much more behind investing, I totally agree 🙋🏻‍♀️👌🏻💥

[@GriffinMilks]

Yes there is. Personal finance is a combination of multiple elements. Thanks for watching!

[@anthonyromain6711]

Great video 👍🏾 I live in Ottawa/Gatineau region and got my first home too!! You are a great example and you have great content!!

[@RyanThomasWoods]

Loved this video! Also speaking of spending where did you get that shirt? Love it!

[@rockout1180]

These videos are great and very helpful as well.

[@CreateTech]

Glad to see someone else spending 40 on cuts lol... Those fades are hella nice!!

[@barry3917]

Great content as usual

[@smashpie]

Hey Neighbour!!! i used to live in gatineau Quebec back in 2017 ;) amazing place.!!! thank you for all your hard work! we still own a rental property in gatineau as well

[@Jim58223]

Is the cobalt card good for Canadians? Are you able to actually get a decent amount of points vs the monthly cost? I swear most places in Canada don't accept American Express. Was contemplating getting one but not sure if it's worth it.

[@danielmorales781]

Thank you for this video and your transparency!

[@GriffinMilks]

My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed it Daniel

[@russellmatthews]

Great video, Griffin! Love the detailed breakdown - so cool to get that perspective! And you're lucky in your area!! For internets speeds, I can only get 30 Mbps up! Definitely sucks when uploading videos, haha!

[@NatePolmateer]

Thats a brutal speed Russell!

[@GriffinMilks]

That's crazy Russ. What provider is that?

[@russellmatthews]

@@GriffinMilks I'm with Start communications right now! I think they piggy back on Rogers? Usually takes about 15 minutes to upload a 12 minute video, so not too aweful. I'll probably upgrade my computer before my internet, because right now, rendering videos is definitely the biggest bottleneck!

[@adamrawji5505]

Hey, doing a great job on the videos. I was wondering if at current prices, Aphria is a good purchase. I would like additional exposure to a growing industry and I would like another company in addition to Trulieve. Thanks.

[@carloslinan88]

Great job !!!

[@GriffinMilks]

Thanks for watching Carlos.

[@ayeshaahmad9943]

please can you cover Qeth ETF and cwrk (currency works).thanks

[@simplgab]

Great video! I just got a loft in Montreal and yup, prices are going up really quick. I love these type of videos. I'd have liked to know how much you're saving/investing per month.

[@anniw.4737]

Hey man your jade plant needs more light I think it’s getting leggy!

[@monicab3713]

You need to learn how to kijiji I have furnished my whole house on kijiji with beautiful almost new stuff.

[@GriffinMilks]

Yea I use it for selling more than buying.

[@aliciac1498]

@thegrahamstephenshow needs to do a reaction to this

[@danbourdon2201]

I also work in Ottawa and live in Gatineau. Looking forward to tax season.

[@waynebaillie3278]

I live in a small town in Nova Scotia, great access to the outdoors, beaches in the summer, great neighbours, our winters aren't too bad and so on, all costs related to my home total about $700 a month, that's all utilities, furnace oil and insurances. I am a senior and do not have a mortgage. The incomes and living expenses that folks have in other part of Canada, I just don't see how you develop a mind set to think these extreme prices and costs are, well the norm. A million or more for a house in Toronto or Vancouver, how to you rationalize that?

[@Nivekdarbs]

On the Millenial money episodes they typically include monthly investments in their "expenses", any reason not to include that in the video?

[@GriffinMilks]

Good point. Usually 5 to 10k a month goes towards my inevstments.

[@richardfahel8665]

Hey griffin i watch most of your videos and i have a question for you, how did you finance all your real estates? Was it from your own money or from lenders? (How many from Private lenders or banks or.. )

[@GriffinMilks]

Banks for the mortgages. Down payments were my own money

[@hellkid227]

Damn c’est le même Griffin Milks qui était dans mes cours de français au Cégep? Wow! Good job man

[@GriffinMilks]

Gab Roy! LOL Thanks!

[@jchong416]

Hi Griffin. I was actually in Gatineau looking at real estate over the past week. Could you give me an idea of the neighbourhoods that you would suggest are the best to invest in in Gatineau for rentals? I was looking in Aylmer, Hull and plateau. Aylmer and plateau seem good but further from Dt Ottawa. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

[@GriffinMilks]

Cool! Aylmer and Hull best bet for sure. Higher cashflows in actual Gatineau though, but not as nice of an area, in my opinion. It's much further from ottawa

[@jchong416]

@@GriffinMilks thanks again. I like Aylmer more. Hull seems like it has a bigger chance of capital appreciation due to the proximity to Ottawa and the increasing prices there

[@KL6.7]

Bro is it just me or is your shelf crooked..

[@TBMTheBossMan]

Do you have a video on which service you use to buy crypto in canada? i would like to get into crypto but dont know how to do it

[@NnickKification]

just get shake pay.. it’s a free app in the app store

[@at2022t]

Does your partner not split the costs of living expenses?

[@GriffinMilks]

Yes we have our ways of slitting them. But these were the totals.

[@PureLaineQC1]

Saint-Hubert? A bit far for your gym ;)

[@mattbowler3568]

Great insights although I would not recommend TD

[@GriffinMilks]

I guess the customer service is different for everyone. I’ve never had as many issues with TD as other banks

[@trevordoeshair3931]

Where do you get your haircut?

[@ZeusAlmiqhty]

Hey Griffin, only if you would be willing, as a future video would you do a full reveal on your entire investment portfolio from all your platforms including a brief overview of all your stocks, ETF's, crypto, how much $$$ you contribute to them on a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly basis (excluding your rental properties I would say)? I'm sure us viewers would really appreciate that! Take care

[@Miawong100]

Switch to public mobile

[@GriffinMilks]

I'l check it out for sure. Thanks!

[@curtisspence5947]

$1200 rent in Centertown or $1400 mortgage in Gatineau, darn I need to save a downpayment...

[@GriffinMilks]

Definitely! Start now and you'll thank yourself.

[@thepassionatesaver]

Agreed! I'm paying 1100 in Centertown

[@sammt9825]

Goddam, IKEA stuff have become much more expensive since I did renovations last year

[@GriffinMilks]

I guess so! What were some comparables?

[@MRfuzzjr101]

Credit Card video when? Haha

[@estebansalda2701]

How is there a dislike already? Didn't even finish the video lol

[@GriffinMilks]

Yea I have a squad of dislikers every time I post a video haha. Thanks for watching Esteban!
