WHAT I SPEND IN A MONTH living in MONTREAL - ALONE I REALISTIC & HONEST EXPENSES  

Thank you so much. We are empty nesters in mid-Michigan looking for a 2nd home (apartment) possibly in Canada. We are travelling to Montreal end of August 2024 to research. Very helpful.

My suggestion to you in expanding yourself financially is to stock up in your food in staple foods that doesn't spoil like rice, and peas save up to 12 months via buying 12 rice etc. to last you up to a year or more at the end of the year do a inventory of your staple food and top it up. If you your a meat eater stock up in freezer for 3-6 months at a time even if you take a note of how much meat you eat in a week including how much you would buy if you had guests multiply it by 4 weeks and multiply it by 3-6 months and stack it away so when you have guests you still have a supply for yourself if you do this you may get a small freezer so you can store bread that would last you for 1 month up to 6 months then the rest like fruit and vegetables won't cost you as much. Once you do this now you can focus on your fixed expenses you spoke about on this video eg. take your tenant/ pet insurance multiply by 12 months put it away as a reserve for 1 year or more it's up to you. Then focus on saving your rent for 1 year or more just in case the unexpected were to happen with your present job.

very helpful! thanks 😊

Hi, any change in experience from last year? I which area you have your apartment, I am looking for my son going to Concordia university what’s the cost of one bed in shared apartment if you have any idea. Thanks for your video for such great information By the way what’s the rent like you nowadays?

Thank you! I am thinking of moving to Montreal in a couple of years. I biggest concern is French language. Is it possible to live there with very-very little of French?

Hey, could you please advise where I should look for furnished studio or 1 bhk apartments from?

Best real estate companies or resources for living in Montreal?

Not sure if cat is necessary; could save hundreds of dollars per year without it. Groceries, I spend approximately $250/month for 2 adults vegetarian plus household goods. Non vegetarian spend about $50/month from takeout. I live in Cloverdale, BC. Awesome apartment; keep up the great work 👍

The onlything cheaper then your video is rent I live in a household of 4 people also you didn't mentioned cellphone bills,tv with premium services like Netflix here we pay hot water and heating so Hydro is more like 200$+ a month and for my part owning a car is a big money sinkhole and collective insurance also grocery bills gives us a big headache...

That's very helpful thanks a lot!! But I have a few questions so I was wondering if there's a way to contact you by email, I would really apreciet that.
