<prompt> Human: Im just curious to know when saving money in Canada for future purchases or investment, what do you typically save for? Common things I hear are housing, cars. Nothing else pops up in my mind. I have a pretty decent paying job as an engineer in Windsor, ON about 56,000yr but Im having ideas to find a job in Detroit since the exchange rate is much more favourable there. Eventually I plan on residing in Mississauga but property value is no where near my budget. Any ideas on what I should be saving for that could be even more important?  <response>: I save not because I know what will happen, but because I havent the first clue.
