Episode 22: Home Sweet Headache — The Chaos of Homeownership in Canada

Buying a house: the Canadian dream… or a financial horror story? In this episode, Chevelle gets real about the highs, lows, and total chaos of owning a home in Canada. From sky-high prices, mortgage stress tests, and endless taxes, to the freedom of tearing down a wall (or two) — it’s all on the table.

We’ll break down the cost of making a house a home, from a fresh coat of paint to a full-blown reno, and why anything that breaks is your problem to fix. Plus, we talk about glow-ups, Honey Do lists that never die, and how you might just have to trade pizza and beer for unpaid renovation help from your friends and family — including one niece who runs the job site like a tiny dictator.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the homeownership hamster wheel, this episode will make you laugh, nod, and maybe cry a little. Because, hey, it’s home sweet headache — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
