Life Lessons Don't Dull Your Sparkle 9:14 AM Don't Dull Your Sparkle Don't dull your sparkle for people who choose to be in the dark. Some people would be bothered by how bright you shine. You remind them how dark their life is. Don't adjust for them. They've made their choice. It's time to make yours. You'll hear a lot of criticisms. You will be judged. They will try to dampen your spirit. They will laugh at your dreams. That's because they see you as the odd one. It may be because they envy you without understanding how they're feeling. They may be just confused admirers. As long as you're not hurting a soul, don't be bothered. Don't dull your sparkle for those who think your brightness is a nuisance. You are born to do great things. Don't delay your destiny just to please them. Some people are going to reject you just because you shine too brightly for them.That's okay! Keep shining. -Mandy Hale Want more quotes? Follow About Life and Love on Instagram
Life Lessons The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It 6:26 AM The grass isn't always greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you water it. Don't be deceived by envy. Sometimes the grass on the other side seem greener only because it's fake. Nourish what you have. Cherish who you have in your life. Never compare your beginning to somebody else's ending. We all have our own timing. We all have our fair share of blessings. Instead of wanting what others have that you don't, be happy for them and be grateful for what you have. Someone's praying for the kind of life you have. You are blessed more than you think. Quit looking over your shoulder and comparing your life with the next person. Comparison is the thief of joy. - Theodore Roosevelt Want more quotes? Follow About Life and Love on Instagram

Depending on where you choose to live in Canada, your salary can vary considerably as employers make up for their city’s value. If you aren’t planning on keeping your job at home, the following stats will give you a rough idea of the salary you should expect in Montreal or Toronto. Toronto Cashier: $ 21,100 Copywriter: $ 35,200 Financial Analyst: $52,000 Graphic Designer: $38,000 Product Manager: $70,000 Receptionist: $24,000 Software Engineer: $58,000 Teacher: $40,000 Montreal Cashier: $ 16,300 Copywriter: $ 33,500 Financial Analyst: $42,800 Graphic Designer: $33,800 Product Manager: $59,400 Receptionist: $22,500 Software Engineer: $52,100 Teacher: $37,900 Cost of Housing and Accommodation Regardless of where you move in the world, rent will always be one of the most critical items of your budget, typically 35% to 50% of your monthly expenses.

Like most countries with this kind of healthcare, it is funded by the country’s tax system. To retain the no-cost programme, the average person spends about C$4,200 a year, while a family of four costs about C$11,800. While taxes at that point may seem pretty high for foreigners, Canadians generally accept that it’s not too much to pay for the fairly free healthcare system, as they can retain relatively good health. The Travel and Transportation Prices in Canada Canadians tend to drive everywhere, much like their southern counterparts in the U.S. That said, biking’s popularity at work is on the rise. In fact, some neighbourhoods in Halifax, Vancouver, and Quebec City see 20 percent of travellers coming to work by bike, although this statistic drops significantly through the cold winter months. It is also common for people in major cities to use public transportation, buses, and trains, while cars are king in the Canadian commute. Also noteworthy is the prevalence of air travel, as Canada is a large country, and more than cars and trains are needed for longer trips, particularly from coast to coast. Gasoline (1 litre / 0.25 gallon) $1.02 Monthly Bus/Transport Pass $91 Bus Ticket, Single Use $3.15 Taxi Tariff, 30 Minutes $16 Toyota Corolla, New $21,449 VW Golf, New $23,000 Cost of Education Like most other nations, Canadians enjoy a free public school system for children up to 18 years of age. Prices in Canada are relatively low for higher education compared to U.S. schools, although they are somewhat less competitive than in European countries, where universities are often government-subsidized. The table below will give you an idea of the cost of education in Canada. Preschool / Kindergarten: $12,204 Private school for lower grades: $16,000 University of Toronto tuition: $6,400 (residents)/ $44,020 (non-residents) York University tuition: $7,312 (residents)/ $22,417 (non-residents) Canada has always been regarded as a great place to live.
