May 11, 2026 These are some things for you to remember after the real life algebra lessons
Mortgage or buying a car. What you should do to minimize your interest payment over time
Be nice to your parents
Put as much down payment as possible (even if you have to skip a vacation or take a part time job). At least 30% of the item
Pay (rapid) biweekly instead of monthly
No difference in interest payment between weekly and biweekly
Pack your own lunch, and you dont need to have the newest gadgets in the market
Balance between academic, work and life style
Raymond should have rented out the basement of his townhouse so he can have more income

8C Book Review Template and Google Slide due on Sunday May 10
- Presentation will start on Monday, May 11. Each presentation should be 5min to 8min long. Nothing longer
- Give your recommendation in the last 30sec of the presentation. Rate the book out of five stars
e.g. This is the worst book I have ever read in my entire life. It is boring, and the plot is uneventful. The ending does not make sense because the villain actually survives the battle and rules the world and no one lives happily ever after.
No star!
Buying a condo, mortgage and other expenses
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C3OZ5xl8P2UXxE4g3AK2K9ZWxI3qSRojluz78yG3WsQ/edit?usp=sharing
- find your condo, assuming you dont have a car that is less than $800K
- provide the details
- estimate and find all the related expenses on the Doc.
- Mortgage options (biweekly or rapid biweekly is the best option to save interest payment to your bank)

8C, Period 4, Louis Riel information
https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/louis-riel
- write a page of notes on a piece of paper. There will be a test tomorrow on this guy
8C Math: No downpayment, buy something you like and pay back later. It is almost free and you will enjoy your week in Hawaii or the 3 hour NBA final game. Nobody can do better than the Bank of Crooks.
