well I haven't been living with my parents for years. And I have a mortgage... I learn to cut my living expanses by doing little things like... try to cook more at home and bring lunch (and 1 "rice box" can last me for 2-3 lunches) no land line phone at home, no cable TV (I don't watch much TV anyway), don't spend much $ on clothings/cosmetics ...etc.

Sometimes, seasonal things do happen. Regarding for house price in Van, I'll rather wait until closer or end of the Olympic then see.
