THE RIGHT MATCH:

ROOMMATE COMPATIBILITY TESTING

If you’re sharing a space with someone else, unless you’re both on completely different schedules, they’re going to become a pretty big part of your life. Girlfriends and boyfriends come and go, but especially in a big city, roommates can be with each other for years –even decades if the lease is good enough. If you’ve been “set up” by friends, it’s easy to find out about the other person’s habits and foibles before you let them sign the lease. But how can you ensure that cool-seeming stranger who answered your ad won’t become your new worst enemy once the lease is signed?

I just happen to be a professional matchmaker, and the similarities that run between a love match and a roomie match are astounding, so I’m going to offer my professional matchmaking advice on finding that perfect roommate. These five topics can guide your roommate compatibility testing – and are ideal to cover before you go making any year-long commitments.

1. ARE YOU A LARK, OR AN OWL?

If you’ve barely hit the sack at 3 a.m. after a Walking Dead marathon and your roomie rises at 4:45 a.m. for an early morning run, it’s never going to work unless you’ve got an extremely soundproof kitchen and bathroom. Better to find someone who keeps similar hours.

2. HOW DO YOU PLAY THE SOCIAL GAME?

How’s your social life? A single introvert may not pair up very well with somebody who hosts a party every month and has friends “drop by” at random. Make sure you ask before the first spontaneous after-work session occurs in your living room.

3. WHERE ARE YOUR BOUNDARIES?

Can I borrow your boots? Do you mind if I use some of this soy sauce? Some people are extremely comfortable with sharing not only a space, but also the items within it. I once had a roommate who –after I’d told her she could wear a particular skirt – took to dressing herself daily from my wardrobe, never bothering to ask permission. Boundaries around everything from the food in the kitchen to the contents of your closet need to be clearly delineated.

4. WHO’S A BATHROOM HOG?

How much longer will you be in there? When two people share a lone bathroom, shower length,

makeup application time and the duration of your depilation sessions all become a matter of some urgency. Talk to your potential cohabitant about their personal habits, especially if you both leave for work around the same time.

5. HOUSEKEEPING EXPECTATIONS?

When was the last time you cleaned your bathtub? If your answer is “this morning, right after my shower,” and your prospective roommate responds incredulously, “you clean your bathtub?” it’s not a match. Be upfront about housekeeping standards, or one of you might end up feeling like the other one’s mom.

Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up.

MOVING? HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT NEIGHBOURHOOD

The search for the perfect rental begins with the search for the perfect neighbourhood, which can be daunting. Searching for something so open-ended and with so many variables can be an overwhelming task, but it doesn’t have to be. You just have to know where to start your search and where you can take it from there. Get ready to find that dream neighbourhood.

SEARCH YOURSELF

You can’t really know what to look for in a neighbourhood until you know exactly what you want. Make a list, take your time. Write down the things that really matter to you. Decide priorities. Order your list from most to least

important. Moving in with your partner? Have them do the same, and see where your priorities line up and where you diverge. Now that you know what you want, it’s time to go get it.

SEARCH THE STREETS

Don’t underestimate the importance of this step. You really can’t know a neighbourhood until you’ve walked its streets at several different times of day. Get a feel for the level of traffic and noise, decide if you’re okay with it. See how the streets feel. Are they lit enough at night? Would it be nice to go for a run through your neighbourhood? Make sure you visit each of your candidate neighbourhoods.

SEARCH THE STATS

While you hunt at street level, make sure you take your research to a bird’s-eye view at the same time. You would be amazed at the kinds of things you can learn about a neighbourhood just from its census data. How old are people there? How many kids are in the neighbourhood? How much are the average monthly costs to live there? What languages are spoken in the neighbourhood? Combine your research with your streetlevel hunting and you’ll soon find yourself walking through the perfect neighbourhood for you and your family. Find more information at www.statcan.gc.ca/census.

ROOM- BY-ROOM ORGANIZE AND DECLUTTER

Clutter can be a major source of stress that affects how individuals feel about their spaces. Psychology Today indicates messy homes and work spaces can contribute to feelings of helplessness, anxiety and overwhelming stress. Clutter bombards the mind with excessive stimuli, makes it more difficult to relax and can constantly signal to the brain that work is never done.

Tackling messes, no matter where they are lurking is not a one-time project. Much like losing weight and getting healthy, clearing a home of clutter requires dedication and lifestyle changes. With these organizational tips and tricks, anyone can work through their home room-by-room and conquer clutter.

FIND A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING

Clutter creeps up as people accumulate possessions over the years. Over time, failure to regularly go through belongings and thin the herd can lead to the accumulation of clutter. But clutter also can accumulate if people fail to find a place to put items. Racks for garages, organizational systems

ADVICE | ORGANIZED LIVING 22 Renters Guide | May 17–31, 2024

for closets and furniture with storage capacity, such as storage ottomans, are some storage solutions that can help people find a place for their possessions.

Getting items up and off the floor can maximize square footage in a home. Bookshelves, hanging wall shelves, hooks, cabinetry, built-ins, and other storage solutions that rely on walls and ceilings are simple and effective storage solutions. Unused space behind cabinet or closet doors are some additional places to store belongings. Hang razors or toothbrushes on medicine cabinet walls and curling irons and other hair tools on the

interior of cabinet doors in bathrooms.

CREATE A CODING SYSTEM

Home offices can be some of the more disorganized rooms in a house simply due to the volume of electronics and paperwork within them. HGTV suggests using a colour-coded system for important files to keep them organized. Label important items, whether they’re paper or digital files, in accordance with your system.

PUT IT AWAY

When you finish using an item, return it to its storage location. This eliminates piles of belongings strewn around the house - and hunting and pecking for missing

things. If you can’t put it away immediately, have a few baskets on hand labeled for the different rooms in the house. Pop the items in the requisite baskets and then routinely take each basket around the house to return the items.

Investing in custom cabinetry and organizational systems also can help people organize their belongings. Tackle rooms such as the garage, basements, bedroom closets, and pantries, or those areas that tend to accumulate clutter the fastest.

HOW TO NAVIGATE YOUR

FINANCES

WITH CONFIDENCE

The hot housing market, rising inflation, the ongoing pandemic, and an increasingly complex and digital financial marketplace can sometimes make money decisions feel overwhelming.

You may be surprised to learn that just feeling more confident can actually help you make better choices.

Here are some simple, practical things you can do to boost your financial confidence when it counts.

SHOP AROUND

Compare products and services from different providers to better understand your options. Whether you’re considering credit card options or renewing your mortgage, you don’t have to stick with the same bank where you have your chequing account if you

can get a better interest rate or product for your needs elsewhere. Make an informed decision about your options by using unbiased financial tools such as the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC)’s online credit card comparison tool and mortgage calculator.

JUST-IN-TIME KNOWLEDGE

Major life events – living as a couple, buying or selling a home, having children, getting divorced – can involve the most important and complicated financial decisions. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never budgeted for a wedding or saved for a child’s post-secondary education before. The best time to brush up on your knowledge is while you’re planning for these milestones.

HAVE A PLAN

Whether you’re stressed about debt, saving for retirement or want to build your financial resilience in case of an emergency, a plan will give you peace of mind. You don’t need to be an accountant or financial planner to set goals and track your income and expenses. Try FCAC’s budget planner, financial goal calculator or credit card payment calculator, which are all free and easy to use.

HELPING SENIORS

WITH THEIR MOVE

Moving an elderly loved one can be tough. No one wants to upset that person and everyone wants the move to go as smoothly as possible. This can seem like mission impossible.

The children and families of the Baby Boomer generation – people born between 1946 and 1960 – are already helping their loved ones move into downsized or elderly assistance

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE CHUCK RESNICK 28 Renters Guide | May 17–31, 2024

accommodations and often are not emotionally prepared for the task at hand.

Senior loved ones can be very set in their ways and often are not well equipped to express their emotional frustrations in a constructive way as moving day draws closer.

It all can seem like a daunting task.

Over the years, we have packed and moved many seniors and the important thing is to stay organized, be patient, calm and respectful throughout the entire moving process.

If you are moving a senior loved one into a retirement facility or a condo, you should first contact the management to find out what they are allowed to bring in, appropriate moving hours and if they have any tips specific to their facility to help smooth the moving process.

Remember the following:

ORGANIZE, BEGIN PACKING WEEKS IN ADVANCE

If your loved one is moving from a large home to a onebedroom condo, there will be more furniture than needed. Get a floor plan of the new space and help your senior plan the space with their favourite furnishings, then help them decide what to do with the left overs. If the item is a family heirloom and cannot be accommodated in the new space, suggest giving it to a close family member like a favourite grandchild.

SORT BEFORE YOU PACK

Seniors tend to collect things they don’t need or use. Be sensitive when suggesting to get rid of possessions. Ask if they use the item and if they would mind if you donated it to raise money for the Salvation Army, for example.

Start packing early to avoid feeling overwhelmed as moving day draws closer.

PACK, CLEAN AS YOU GO

When helping sort and pack your senior’s belongings keep in mind that their eyesight and reduced mobility prevents them from doing regular chores and can result in poor housekeeping habits. Instead of commenting, offer to clean as you pack and try not to be judgmental.

YOU WILL NEED MORE TIME THAN YOU THINK

Allow enough time so your loved one doesn’t feel rushed. Sorting through years of stuff is difficult and sometimes emotionally painful. Allow your loved one time to say goodbye. If they take longer to clean out the desk drawer because they found a stack of pictures, let them take the time to walk down memory lane. This is a very important part of the process. Be patient and listen to their life stories, there will come a time you will be glad you did.

WRAP SMALL ITEMS IN COLOURED PAPER

This prevents items like knickknacks from becoming lost or mistakenly thrown out.

LABEL BOXES ON TOP AND SIDES

Make sure to mark the top and sides of boxes as they’re packed and write in large letters to make it easier for your loved one to read. Make sure to label boxes containing breakable or sentimental items as ‘fragile’.

PACK ALL ELECTRONICS IN THE ORIGINAL BOXES

Otherwise, use low-static bubble wrap when packing these items.

USE PACKING PAPER

When wrapping fine china and precious items, do not use newsprint because the ink can bleed.

SEAL WITH PACKING TAPE

This makes it easier to stack and protect your senior’s belongings.

USE BOXES DESIGNED FOR ITEMS YOU ARE PACKING

Invest in dish packs for dishes and wardrobe boxes for clothing. Wardrobe boxes make it easy for seniors to access their clothing on hangers.

CHECK UNWANTED CLOTHING BEFORE DONATING

It’s a good idea to sort unwanted clothing for donation prior to moving. Before donating any gently worn unwanted clothing, check pockets for valuables. Seniors often hide small valuable items like jewelry or cash in the pockets of suit jackets or shoes and forget where they hid it.

MAKE YOUR LOVED ONE’S NEW SPACE FEEL FAMILIAR

Take pictures and colour samples of the inside of their current home.

Try to decorate the new space and place objects in a similar way, so that their new space will feel like the old one. Be as detailed as you can, from arranging the bedroom furniture to placing family pictures on the bureau. This will help make the new surroundings feel like home.

LIVE CLOSE TO EVERYTHING OSBORNE VILLAGE

Located right next to downtown Winnipeg, running south to Fort Rouge, Osborne Village is a densely populated, well-traversed, artsy area of the city. With Wellington Crescent on one side and the Donald Street Bridge on the other, the urban residents are highly mobile, street savvy and aware of their surroundings.

The Village hosts fantastic funky shops, trendy nightclubs and unique restaurants known only on Osborne Street. If you’re looking for karaoke, you’re looking for Osborne. Osborne Village has an annual Canada Day Street Festival that features First Nations drumming, bands, an open market and street hockey.

Young, well-dressed business professionals enjoy their Starbucks in the sun next to street musicians and history students. On Osborne, trendy locals shift comfortably between quaint classic culture and dark court jesters. It’s an energizing mix to be in the midst of it. There is a marked difference between day traffic and

night walkers though. During the day, dads with strollers and cyclists swarm the streets. After business hours, groups of friends get together for food and wine or try performance art alone. Curiosity seekers are abundant and so are the amenities. The Village dances with lights riding the river.

Many new families call the Village home as well as some older tenants who enjoy their view from the highrise apartments, but most residents are typically young, single and working in the area. The most common age group is mid- to late20s, but there are urban professionals well above that who form a key demographic for services in the area. Families with children are typically affluent and educated with one or two children, sometimes living with other family units or singles in a grand three-storey house.

The face of the Village is young, metro and stunningly stylish. In this neighbourhood, public transit is the most frequent form of transportation down Osborne Street, after vehicle traffic. There are at least eight bus routes and the Rapid Transit station is located nearby. Parking is tight so people often walk, bike or bus in order to save a little bit of cash.

Osborne Village has more than 500 buildings – one-third is residential use. There are elementary schools and one middle school. The Village is close to the Misericordia Hospital and famous Firehall Station No. 4 sits on Stradbrook. The River Osborne Community Centre is further south at Confusion Corner.

Osborne Village is desirable and considered one of the best communities in the city. It is very vibrant and diverse with a thriving business and entertainment culture. People on the street both make and take away from the value of the Village.

5 TIPS FOR DEALING WITH INFLATION

Four in 10 Canadians report that money is a daily concern for them, and one third of low-income Canadians admit to worrying about money almost constantly. With inflation at its highest level in more than 30 years, it’s more important than ever for us to

become financially literate. Here are 5 money saving tips to help keep you afloat.

BUILD A BUDGET

The first step towards financial security is to create a budget that you can stick to. Your budget

should track all of your income and expenses, including food, housing, transportation and entertainment. If your monthly expenses exceed your income, you’ll either need to cut back on spending or find ways to bring more money in.

ADVICE | MONEY MATTERS 36 Renters Guide | May 17–31, 2024

CUT BACK ON FRIVOLOUS SPENDING

” Hold off on purchasing bigger ticket items until they go on sale. Most retailers have recurring sales promotions on certain items

AVOID HIGH-INTEREST PAYMENTS

Credit cards are a handy way to pay for things and can even earn you cash back or other rewards. But the interest rate on credit cards is very high, often 20 per cent or more. And, if you don’t pay off your full balance monthly, the interest is charged from the date of purchase.

online resources for coupon clipping.

SHOP ON SALE

It’s become a bit of a cliché to advise people to stop buying takeout coffees to save money. And it’s true: with tax and tip a coffee can easily cost $5 to $10. But don’t make yourself miserable. If that cup of java is a daily indulgence that makes you happy, look for other small ways to cut back that can add up to big savings.

If you can’t pay your credit card bills in full, see if you qualify for a line of credit. These have much lower interest rates so you can start paying down your debt.

USE COUPONS

Using coupons is a great way to lower the cost of staple items such as groceries, diapers, personal hygiene products or to splurge on an occasional fast-food treat.

In addition to the printed coupons that come in the mail or newspapers, there are numerous

Hold off on purchasing bigger ticket items until they go on sale. Most retailers have recurring sales promotions on certain items. A sales associate may be able to let you know when the next cycle will start. And make note of upcoming seasonal sale periods such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
