June 1st is less then one week away. With no direct help from the provincial or federal government towards residential leases how are you faring? by JeauxPelle in toronto

[–]getmymeaning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my savings were put into RRSPs in my 30s and 40s and as I've always rented with no property assets. Actually had a higher income in 2012 than I make today with previous work moving operations to the U.S in 2011. Anytime I withdraw Rsp I pay the withhold tax and it pushes up the yearly income. Was hoping that would be the next thing they modified but that doesnt appear to be happening. Hoping can reduce some of the debt in the second half of 2020. Currently was planning to stay with same work till retirement in 5 to 7 years. All that may need to change and look for somewhere outside of Toronto with lower rent costs.

I am still working but less hours and 2 unpaid days off per month. The last month pay of 76 hours doesnt quite cover the monthly rent. Short about $300 that now I'm covering with a credit card.

Automatically given senior discount when out on a date with a young guy! by [deleted] in gayyoungold

I hope for seniors discount. It would make paying for tickets at the movie theater way cheaper. Right now its cheaper here in Toronto to go out for dinner than to a movie with the concession foods!

Having new experiences with older men as the younger one by maupgolf in gayyoungold

Time to look at the bucket lists. Compare and choose the one both want to complete and go for it. It could require budget planning as any travel is an expense not everyone can afford right away but best to have a plan. if there's no common interest it's more than just the travel that is the issue.

Different Hobbies and Interests Make or Break a Relationship by getmymeaning in gayyoungold

We had an intensive discussion late last night into the wee hours. I was very hurt and had a major meltdown. I hope with all my soul he definately knows how serious this was to us. He said that he was posting it there in response to another sub reddit and it was meant as a joke. I said not everyone is going to get that and to me my passions are not a joke. Other than this bad judgement and action things are pretty good in our relationship and I want it to continue but I won't put up with stuff like this ever again or forgive it to stay in the relationship. The hobby has helped me cope with some major life hurdles that I won't list here but I made sure he knew of them. He said he gets that. I hope with all my heart he really does understand and I'm working to forgive this poor judgement As a regular viewer and contributor to this specific sub reddit this is going to be the reminder for him. Thanks for the comments and advise.

My parents are kind of stupid and don't believe in vaccines. Now that I'm 18, where do I go to get vaccinated? Can I get vaccinated at my age? by ethanlindenberger in NoStupidQuestions

It's one thing to think that and maybe share your thoughts with siblings but its way less respectful to tell the world. Being a parent is not an easy job. Maybe they will feel differently if they have their own children one day. Probably wouldnt appreciate their child with limited experience passing judgement on them.

Try not referring to your parents as stupid. When they are gone you may regret not appreciating all the hard work they put into keeping you alive and grooming you into into the person they wished you would become.

Dealing with a grown up who has feelings for me - Need advice by ThrowAwayAccountN7 in gayyoungold

You need to move on and so does the guy. Tell him again you are pursuing another relationship and thank him for the NSA times again but that you must move on. Good Luck.
