How B.C.'s property tax system delivers big benefits to multimillionaires, and why some say it needs to change
Anyone in B.C. who pays provincial income tax or sales taxes — including lower-income renters — helps cover the costs of this subsidy, which benefits some high-income homeowners in mansions
But many of those with the greatest need for the program do not even know about it, ...only an estimated 16 per cent of seniors defer their taxes.
THIS IS A TRAP.
THIS is what student loan lenders/servicers are doing now?? Omg, please please please understand: This is regarding private loans so I’m not sure it works the same as federal loans, but with federal loans at the end of a deferment or forbearance the interest capitalizes and becomes principle. (It actually happens about 30 days before your payment is due again.)
THIS IS WHY THEY LOVE TO DO DEFERMENT OR FORBEARANCE FOR ONLY A FEW MONTHS AT A TIME.
I understand this might be someone’s only option to keep their payments current, if this is you my suggestion is to pay the principal only as much as you can during the deferment or forbearance period.
Yes the interest will still capitalize but these are simple interest loans so interest accrues every single day based on the current principal balance. So if you’re paying that down you’re being charged a little less interest tomorrow which means less interest will capitalize overall.
If you’re paying the interest as you go, of course it won’t capitalize, but then you’re making payments and your balance isn’t going down.
Also, stop having babies. Women get punished for having babies, society wants you to produce new taxpayers and children for the church to molest, but then they fire you for it.
