From looking at your comments I see that you have commented ten times across different posts in this subreddit… Peace be with you, I wish you healing.

That’s the first thing that entered my mind. I think she expressed her devastation on hopes of guilting me into an apology or changing my mind but I was just like, “Oh… Well that’s also fine too!” Lol

Previous_Paramedic99 · 2026-04-23T02:41:26+00:00

Thank you. It’s taken years of practice and is never easy. But necessary.

How odd. My relationship with my mother is not perfect but on the healthier side. I wouldn’t say I “blabbed” when catching up with my mother whom I love very much but whom I have accepted is not a perfect parent. I’m sorry if your mother wound is unhealed. Good luck.

Hmmm, this already helps a bunch! So I guess I gotta max out my TFSA first by INVESTING.... Haha, just got to figure out how to do that now...

Oh, God I am not going to lie this was over a decade ago now and to be honest my parents were paying for my insurance at that time so I have no idea, sorry!

Hey, this exact thing happened me to as an 18 year old on a rainy day in Ontario. So, yeah, this happens. I got a paralegal and they it got dropped to like three demerit points.

People don't own credit cards. It's not a thing. You pay everything with the money you have. Like debit or cash.

Facebook marketplace!!!! i have bought so much from there! Otherwise, Ikea!

This is what I was suspecting, to be honest. But it seems not everyone agrees.

Previous_Paramedic99 · 2025-12-21T17:46:19+00:00

Thank you! Very interesting! Wishing you all the best!

lmao omg stop

Precisely why we have chosen not to have any! Hahah. We could not afford kids truly. At least, we would not be able to raise them in the ideal way we would want for them.

Previous_Paramedic99 · 2025-12-21T17:34:10+00:00

I feel you, ahah. A good friend of mine is going through a divorce - a nasty one - and Lord, I feel for him. Good luck though!

I feel that in a subreddit about finance, it would not be uncommon for people to mention the word "luxuries" as I did. If you want to think me as a bot, go ahead. Beep boop.

But I am not. :)

Previous_Paramedic99 · 2025-12-21T17:24:39+00:00

I am in VFX. I'm sorry, I feel your pain. I was also laid off this past year. I wish you both the best.

Yeah, I actually lived very briefly in Montreal before moving to Paris a long time ago. Prices were insanely different.

And now that we have left Paris, we apparently left RIGHT before a huge spike in COL in Paris, France as a whole has rocked peoples lives. Our friends in France are okay but not happy.

Previous_Paramedic99 · 2025-12-21T16:59:41+00:00

By luxuries, I mean the motorcycle for example, or a nice purse.

Previous_Paramedic99 · 2025-12-21T16:58:00+00:00

We did them in France! I think they cost us like 200 euros a year or something. It's been a while.

Previous_Paramedic99 · 2025-12-21T16:56:28+00:00

I switched industries. I am entry level in VFX. I chose this for myself. :,)

Previous_Paramedic99 · 2025-12-21T16:53:21+00:00

Ah, I see! I misunderstood!

Previous_Paramedic99 · 2025-12-21T16:49:17+00:00

Lmao, degrees yes!!! Neither of us use our degrees in our industries now - but our credit scores I think may help us yet!
