When you say 36% of you net income, is it for the couple?
My BF and I are looking to buy a house, because we've met so many people telling us: «you pay more for the appartment you rent than we pay for our house» (appartment are not cheap in Rimouski, but houses are right now, and interest rates are very low, around 2.9%)
Is it 36% of both our net income together, or 36% of each of our incomes?
Thanks for your help!

Wow! Those chairs in the very first picture look AMAZING. Does anybody knows where to get those?

I am kind of afraid of buying those on the Bento&Co website. I fear the hidden fees and everything. Do you know if there is a place in Canada or in US that sells those?

I buy a bag of magnets at the dollarstore and stick the button on it with a glue gun. Those become my refrigerator magnets and they look pretty good that way !

I'm moving in with my boyfriend and we decided the bedroom will be a no-tech environment: no computers, no laptop, no cellphone and no gaming thingys. I am sure this is going to help both of us, because we're not only losing precious time before going to bed, but also when we wake up.
Let me tell you, when you wake up with an iphone, to go on facebook, on twitter and on various apps is way more appealing than to get out of bed and do you things!

@Jessiker I bought the Tokyo Dreamer strap from Photojojo for my good ol'Pentax and ended using it for my Rebel because I love it way too much. :)

I used to hide my laptop wrapped in a bath towel in the middle of the pile... what kind of thief would steal bath towels anyway?

And I'm pretty sure it's safer than the oven O_O

I loooove the wall!
But you can still buy some decals that imitate chalkboard paint. You buy like 31 and you can place it the way you want on your wall. It's easily removable and sticks to every surface.

When I used to live the university's dorm (a year or so ago) I bought myself some rug at walmart (sorry for the haters, but seriously this place is great for poor students!). For 15$, it's a white fluffy-furish rug and it added a lot of comfort to my room. I also bought some electric blue sheet and pillows, which brought a lot of color to the room too.
Hope this help, good luck!! :)

Are all those discounts available for USA only? I don't think we have a Black Friday in Quebec, but I would definitively enjoy some of those discounts!

I am pretty much a poor student, so I had to go with the cheapest things. But I think I manage to make some cute christmas tree with all that. The tree is a regular green artificial tree and the ornament are all black and silver. I really like the vertical ribbons :)

You can see some pictures on my blog (sorry, it's in french only though): http://laframbwaze.canalblog.com/

I have a huge living room in my appartment right now and I have 3 couches and they are not even filling the place right. It still looks empty! I am looking for some table like this one, does anybody knows where I could get one?

Having friends over for brunch on a sunny sunday, and doing the dishes with The Kinks and The Rolling Stones blasting out at full volume. Then I wonder «Could it get better?».

@Shirley-temple-of-doom ew my mother just LOVE those little wine-glass jewelry...

The wine cozy thing is cute but I think it might a single-use gift, which is sad...

I used to live in an apartment where I had neighboors under. I placed a little cushion right under the subwoofer, too prevent the vibration from going to the floor (or the ceiling of my neighboors). Used to work just fine, i wasn't losing any sound quality, my neighboors have always been happy and I chose a cute cushion that fitted in my room.
