What has 2 thumbs and eats lobsters?

You will probably never guess so I will just tell you - our youngest son. We just got a call from him and he let us know that they sold their house in BC and moved to Nova Scotia and bought 5 acres of lake front property for $10.000. The only bad part is they are now a 6 day drive away from us instead of 8 hours. Cheers!

    That's a huge piece of property for so little money.  There was a time when family members stayed in close proximity to one another, but with so many opportunities away from home, children have moved farther away.

    It is a nice piece of property for little money. But what is priceless is the people that live in the area  (Nufies). Our son and daughter in law have already been giving a 60 foot trailer to live in untill they get their house built and  they were giving 2 cords of firewood to keep them warm. Cheers!

    That's probably the coast of the Atlantic ocean. Their new place  is pretty close to the ocean too so they will be eating lots of sea food. Cheers! This post was edited by Nanoose at October 26, 2021 7:23 PM MDT

    Thought I would add something about what helped make our sons move possible. When our son was 17 he started collecting Magic (the Gathering) cards. I told him many times that he was wasting his money and now I am so glad that he didn't listening to me. Before he left BC he sold most of his cards and now they are in a position to take a year or 2 off work while they build their new house. Some of the cards he sold were won at tournaments so they didn't cost him a penny but most of them were bought on speculation. He would buy a 100 or so cards for 25 cents each and months later some of those cards were worth $10 to $50 each. So once again I am so glad he didn't listen to me. Cheers!

    I think I’m living in the wrong province lol. Is that normal price for property there or did they get some crazy deal?

    Property  and homes are pretty cheap there right now but they are starting to go up. So it might be a good  investment for you if you buy something now. Cheers!

    Not a bad idea but I know I won’t do it lol. I’ve thought many times about moving province because the type of work I do could really do anywhere but I don’t think I will ever leave. I’m not that brave start over so far away :)

    If it weren't for job and family, I'd probably set off on another adventure. I'm that brave/crazy/stupid.
