That’s a crazy amount to spend on transportation. I have a bus pass ($81) and Brian pays for 2 packs of tickets a month ($45) plus we budget $200 for car sharing (though we don’t usually use that much).

Personally, I’d rather they toll a bridge or highway than ask the general populace to pay for it all through taxes. I’m actually surprised they got rid of the Coquihalla toll a few years back – that was a very well maintained highway. I would have liked to see them keep it, perhaps at a lower rate, just to get the road maintenance revenue.

Paying off my car was an amazing feeling. If you are able to drop that payment if everything stays the same you basically gave yourself a $2,640/yr after tax RAISE. If you make 50K you just a 5% bonus.

Is your car payment monthly? Amortized over what? Because it seems pretty low, unless you dropped a lot of cash upfront.

Are insurance rates high in BC all around? The $330 per month is quite a bit or is that due to infractions?

Sorry for all the questions, just curiosity got the better of me. 🙂
