Single people to contribute to childcare and child support

2009-05-17T20:31:54-08:00

I think that there needs to be mechanism where single people with no kids should pay into child support to help those who are burdened with child support payments. If someone has 5 kids making 12.00 an hour working regular full time, they may be required to pay as much as $720.00 monthly according to the BC Family Maintenance child support calculator. Imagine if they have student loans on top of that? How are they to survive? This brings to the person a burden of not being able to start a new life having this as a baggage thereby hurting them in finding new mates later on. What I propose is a mechanism where if the NDP were to come back into power, to institute a method of where single people who have more free time and less of a burden than they do to have a collective child support payment plan to help those who are having undue hardship to pay child support. Even if they are able to reduce their payements under the current legislation, the mothers are troubled, having less to receive as a result. If single people with no kids make monthly payments, the those who are facing a burden will benefit. This gives collective responsiblity to ensure the future of Canada’s children, as every child deserves to have their needs met without compromise. I am thinking of pushing for such legislation, but wish to get all of your imput here, as it will affect us all. Let me know.

Cutting costs living in Vancouver as a Student

2009-04-24T04:54:15-08:00

People have been complaining about Vancouver is a very expensive city to live in. Well it can be, but it doesn’t have to. There are ways around, and in this harsh climate of recession that many of you are struggling in. This advice which comes from a debt collector who works in a collections agency is shared here below. It has helped some students in struggling with student loans debts in this nasty recession. Hope it helps. This one comes from a case of a fellow who was called by collections to pay off his debts.

1) Cut back buying toilet papers by getting napkins at McDonald’s, Starbucks, Burger King, etc. Take a pencil and roll the toilet paper when going to the washroom and get yourself a bundle.
2) Get a short happy planet bottle with a wide mouth and get free ketchup at McDonald’s
3) Eat at soup kitchens, and if one doesn’t like old food, to eat at variouus Sikh Temples called Gurudwara that offer free langar. For those who don’t know what langar is, that is free food that is given to anyone who comes. If one lives in close proximity, that is a great way to cut costs.
4) Various banks offer free Coffees and teas. Get some tea bags offered for free there, and get hot water from McDonald’s or starbucks, and get out of paying for these things.
5) Do you have any unwanted things? Sell them on e-bay or have a garage sale. By minimizing everything to the bare bones, one needs to rent out only a smaller place. This is where the real cost cutting comes in, more so than what you will get in selling of your stuff.
6) When looking for furniture, go to free section on Craigslist, and get them for free. My friend got couches, refrigerator, a CRT TV, Desktop Computer (old, but working) Washer and Dryer. He didn’t have a truck, so he bought a cheap Ford Aerostar for $400.00, moved his stuff, and resold it for $800 12 days later.
7) Salvation Army offers free clothes to those who need it. He went to Kingsway and Fraser location office and they gave him a voucher for free clothes. He later asked for them on craigslist as well and was given free clothes.
Now this seemed harsh, I told my friend, but he said that the collector told him in such a friendly way, that he took it to heart and paid almost half of his loans in a year. He paid $600 from his $900/biweekly cheque when he is only making $13.50/hour. His payments are pretty impressive given that he makes below average pay where he was unable to find a way to pay for his debt to cutting his costs. All he had to do is make a few minor adjustments on his lifestyle, and he showed that if one is determined and is truly responsible, that it is not impossible to make payments.
8) While going to school, go work as a security guard where you just sit and do nothing. There, you can get your studying done and get paid for doing your own homework. You get paid a bit better than working in fast foods, and also, you are able to put in more hours, because the time you have to take out studying working in other jobs where you can’t take your laptop and type up your essay or read your textbook. Some people have made enough money killing two birds with one stone, that they graduated university having banked $10,000 laying aside $100/cheque. Now this isn’t much, but to graduate university without living off one’s parents and paying one’s own way and still coming out debt free and having a bit to start off is not bad for a student. (I guess if my friend took the collector’s advice before starting university and worked as a security guard, he could have banked $64,200 as he said). But then, you wouldn’t be applying rule #1-7 if you play rule #8 unless you are in debt. Rule #1-7 is kind of unethical to be applying except for Rule #6 for big ticket items, if you are not in the red, especially if you do #8 for a living as it is a bit of a contradition.
What do you think. I know this was a bit harsh, but it looks like many of you on this forum are on a really tight spot during the recession, so I figured some of you could apply some of the methods to get out of the hole faster.

job for financial managers

2009-03-02T04:03:48-08:00

hi everybody, i am writing from Ukraine. have long experience of financial work, though mostly in non-for profit. English, always has been working for international companies. just discovered that “financial managers” are eligible for “skilled worker”. so, what are the real chances to get a job in Vancouver in this category? my husband is also financial specialist in a banking sector. i would highly appreciate your thoughts and stories. i hope that financial sector and business in general feel better then in Ukraine. we both have jobs here. more over these jobs are well paid. but i do not feel safe here. i don’t want to leave Ukraine to get better compensation for what i do, i just want to do my job in more or less stable and safe conditions. and of course i do want to get appropriate job there. i do not just to change “job with no security” into “security with no job”:) so, please comment and help with your ideas.
