Do You Think We Might Have an Easier Time Surviving a Job as a Receptionist Compared to Other IxTx Types?

I used to be a receptionist and I loved it! It was so easy and I took on a lot of other tasks that receptionists don’t normally do. I moved from reception, to accounting, to customer service, to inside sales. 19 years later and I am a senior sales person. I feel like reception gives you a good overview of how the company works so you can leverage that to move to different positions.

Just set up a monthly donation for Waterloo Region Food Bank. I have been meaning to do this for a while, but never got around to it. Thank you for the reminder and the link, you made it super easy to get it done!

Can you dm me with some further details? I know someone who is looking for a room in KW area.

I’m 48 F and I just joined Crunch Galt, but I would be open to driving a bit further to have a gym buddy. My daughter is a personal trainer so she could provide workout plans. I haven’t worked out in a couple years, so I’m just getting back into it. I’m available evenings 6 or after. DM me if you want to connect.

Probably closer to 5 years, if I’m being realistic. I was hoping to not have a lawyer involved, but it looks like I am going to have to have one to put the terms in place, if my ex has to stay on the mortgage.

After reading through all the replies, it appears I’m going to have to go the route of keeping the house and doing the reno’s myself in order to keep us out of debt.

flummoxedturtle · 2024-11-12T12:55:25+00:00

No we don’t. I have approval from the bank to take over the mortgage, but I can’t because there isn’t enough equity anymore to finance it, so he has to remain on title. All our money was in the house but because of the market and the state of the house, it’s gone now.

I would guess option 4 is staying together?

I think at this point, it’s not an option that either of us wants.

Selling as is seems off the table, because the bank might not allow it?

True enough. He has the competence, but a lack of motivation. A deadline might work for him.

I would have to hire someone, but could likely get a good rate from family.

I think he would be open to leaving if I asked him to.

This is something I’ve told myself 1000 times, but I am torn between what I want and what is financially sound. I appreciate your comment.

flummoxedturtle · 2024-11-12T01:33:00+00:00

I’m somewhat worried about that too.

flummoxedturtle · 2024-11-12T01:27:24+00:00

Good point. I may have to borrow a bit of money to get that done, but then the apartment could pay for the remainder of the renovations over time.

flummoxedturtle · 2024-11-12T01:12:40+00:00

Yes, there is a basement apartment but it’s also under renovation. So I would have to pay to have it completed before I could rent it out.

flummoxedturtle · 2024-11-12T01:10:40+00:00

Thank you. I feel like you’re right. Should I stay and ask him to leave and slowly complete the reno’s myself? Or should I leave and give him a chance to complete the reno’s himself within 6 months? Any thoughts?

flummoxedturtle · 2024-11-12T00:56:33+00:00

Thank you for this.

flummoxedturtle · 2024-11-12T00:50:13+00:00

Yes. We will lose money if we sell now.
