Can You Still Afford to Buy a Home? | Real Estate Advice with James In The City
Buying a house used to be a major milestone of adulthood. Now? We're just wondering if living with our parents forever is a financially responsible decision. 😂🏡
In this episode, we're joined by James Milonas, better known as James In The City, Toronto REALTOR®, social media personality, and HGTV's Open House Overhaul alum, to talk about the realities of today's Canadian housing market, homeownership, and buying your first home.
We get into rising housing costs, emerging real estate trends, and whether Millennials and Gen Z can realistically afford to become homeowners. James shares his advice on getting into the housing market, finding the right real estate agent, and what to consider when buying or selling a home. We also discuss downsizing, retirement, and what it's really like building a successful career in real estate.
But we're not stopping at houses. James also opens up about his incredible fitness and weight-loss journey, shedding around 100 pounds and the dedication behind his transformation. Because apparently selling houses, building a brand, and getting absolutely shredded are all part of the same schedule. Casual. 💪😂

Should Parents Financially Support Their Adult Children? | Helping vs. Enabling
At what age does the Bank of Mom and Dad officially close? And more importantly… is there a withdrawal limit? 😂
In this episode, we're talking about parents financially supporting their adult children, the importance of financial independence, and when helping your kids starts looking a little too much like funding their lifestyle.
Terri wants her three daughters to know they'll always have a safe place to land—but she'd also like to retire someday, preferably without three additional names on the payroll. Meanwhile, Tyerra shares why asking her parents for money feels awkward, how a $75 car repair turned into a $3,000 reality check, and what living paycheck to paycheck taught her about saving money.
We also debate whether parents should question how their adult children spend borrowed money, why having an emergency fund matters, and the difference between genuinely needing financial help and simply making questionable financial decisions.
Because being financially independent is great… until life sends you a $3,000 invoice you definitely didn't order. 🙃

Things We're Grateful For… That We Probably Shouldn't Say Out Loud
We're all about practicing gratitude… but some things are better left off the Thanksgiving dinner table. 😂
In this episode, we're sharing the things we're secretly grateful for but would never normally admit out loud. From pretty privilege and ex-boyfriends to friendships that needed to end, having money, and being a little extra, we're getting into the unexpected things that have made our lives better—even if admitting them might raise a few eyebrows.
We also get into why we're grateful for certain people no longer being in our lives, the freedom that comes with setting boundaries, and the little luxuries we appreciate more than we'd like to admit. Because apparently gratitude doesn't always have to sound humble, wholesome, or socially acceptable.
Some might call these unpopular opinions. We prefer to call them honesty with a side of gratitude.
🎙️ In This Episode:
Pretty privilege: are we allowed to be grateful for it?
Why we're thankful for our ex-boyfriends
Friendships we've outgrown (and don't miss)
Money, independence & life's little luxuries
Being extra and unapologetically ourselves
The unexpected benefits of getting older
Things we're grateful for but rarely admit
