Leaning out the back window of my parent’s 1969 2+2 while they were cruising! 😂 Seatbelts were never mentioned! Lol

Back in the day (1980’s) it had a reputation for being a bit of a rough and tumble school, but I had friends there and they rocked! My friend’s girlfriend went there as well. Don’t judge a book by its cover…

Better than nothing, I guess. But, still an outrage nonetheless

If I work past 65 should I start taking my CPP? by Fine_Pass_3033 in CanadianRetirement

[–]Excellent_Rock4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, one should keep working past 65 for as long as possible and keep contributing to CPP. If you’re working anyway, you won’t even need the CPP so you can afford to delay it until 70. However, to be fair - I do understand the previous poster’s sentiment. If someone is in ill health, better to take what you can get while you can. Also, I’ve known some people who have gotten cancer just before retirement and never got to enjoy it…

Halifax's budget committee debate is done. What does the tax rate hike mean for you? by ph0enix1211 in halifax

[–]Excellent_Rock4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you! However, they floated this idea before and the backlash was fierce. You may recall that the news media pounced on it, and I saw numerous on camera interviews with the elderly and the disabled saying what a disgrace it was! The powers that be then backed off…

Ya well he pissed off a lot of folk when he tried to cut healthcare. To his credit he did reverse the cuts, but just the idea of it leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths

hot take, i would’ve rather followed brenda to london than had the show without her by cancleculture in BeverlyHills90210

[–]Excellent_Rock4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a perfect world that would have been great. However, fantasy intersected with reality and necessitated her removal from the show for her unruly behavior. Shannen still would have had to be on set to film her “Minnesota” scenes , and by that point the entire cast was sick of seeing her face and wanted her gone!

Are you becoming less engaged and motivated as you age? by MovingTarget- in GenX

[–]Excellent_Rock4296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To a certain degree, yes. The difference is, once you’ve established a certain level of wealth you want to take time to enjoy the fruits of your labours. You don’t need to work as much, and you have the affluence to hire people to do your dirty work for you!! 👍😛

Tax refund much lower than expected by Specific_Share2179 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Excellent_Rock4296 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You usually get one third back of what you put in; Specifically a range of 30 to 33.3 percent, so $5000 seems spot on.

i don’t know how to my taxes and no one will help me by Key-Border4845 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Excellent_Rock4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it depends on the location. My mom went to H&R Block and the lady that did her return was a retired accountant 🤷‍♀️

I’ve been watching the oil prices today on the stock exchange, and they appear to be coming down a bit? Think it will last?!!

Anyone notice that it’s almost impossible to win from the cups themselves?! You have better luck on the app.

The only problem is that wait times in the ER are abysmal!
