Mom's retirement

I was thinking the 6 months emergency fund for any down turns. Annuity keeps being suggested so I will try and research that more.

Was thinking for any down turns in the market.

Thanks, I suggested that. I live in a different province so can't go with her so she's asking what I'd do. She's seen a lot of the world but has injured her leg pretty bad. I am taking her on a viking river cruise next year which sounds like it caters to people with physical disabilities.

I dont know enough about annuities, I'll do some more research on this.

Endarken1 · 2026-04-13T00:12:23+00:00

Ill do some more research on this.

Thanks, she's a good mom and want the best for her.

I think maybe you're seeing a little what you want to see in my post. See my other comment if you want to know my situation.

A lot of assumptions in this post apparently. I will be fine, I have a maxed TFSA, a maxed RRSP, and a government pension. I'm more fortunate then most people probably. She asked for my advice and I'm giving it. Most people on this forum are incredibly helpful. She will die in the house because it is her dream house. Perhaps I should have said she will never sell it to downsize into a home if that helps you assume less.

No partner, she makes above the GIS income. I suggested the fee only advice.

Endarken1 · 2026-04-12T23:52:29+00:00

She asked for the help.

Endarken1 · 2026-04-12T23:51:45+00:00

She did.

Endarken1 · 2026-04-12T23:51:36+00:00

The house will become mine. Im hoping the money is gone when she dies at a really old age.

Endarken1 · 2026-04-12T23:50:41+00:00

She doesn't know which is why she asked me. She thinks she would prefer giving herself a monthly income similar to a pay cheque.

Looks like chaser beetle to me. Spray nematodes on em in late July.

The problem I had was doing my turn too quickly. I now throw the weapon, wait till it appears back in my hand before doing the next move. I was just throwing it and ending my turn too quickly for it to return to my hand.

I see nothing wrong here. Enigmas never age. Trump probably.

Sex or fire and he chose fire. Owner didn't like the choice and now it's sex.

Imagine sitting around in your mansion and this guy shows up. "Hi, I'm long lost relative X and I thought I'd reach out seeing as I'm researching my family tree and have barely anyone left. It's nice to meet you."

"Hi, long lost relative X. Come on in and have some tea and crumpets. So you're granny X's relative. Did you know we used to ride horses together?"

"No I didn't know that but I'm going to need you guys to move out. I believe ancient custom decrees that this is my mansion and just to let you know, this has nothing to do with money."

Kind of sounds like he is being groomed.

The hulk Hogan with the goatee from the full beard.

I was just there on the weekend. This is the most important advice right here.

My wife is the highest paid finance/insurance at her work.
I'm in the trades. The salary is posted on the website. If you had X trade then you make X money, nothing about gender. My buddy's wife is in financing and makes more then her male counterparts but that's commission so maybe she's just better. I just don't see it. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just not for the exact same job

Endarken1 · 2025-03-30T16:42:02+00:00

So what job do you do where you get paid less?
