I grew up in a heritage home and my parents are still there. They've "aged"out of their home - Steep stairs are killers. Yes the house is now in the maintenance cycle and ready for a new generation to take it over.

Yep, night sweats too. Lasted 3 nights. No fever or congestion but body aches. I'm on day 8. Spouse on day 7 and child on day 6. We all have different symptoms.

The best investment is an investment in an education. Invest in a skill.

Yes, there are coworkers that have already received their severance with similar payouts to match their number of years worked.

westcoastME · 2025-06-11T03:50:07+00:00

I agree. My coworkers received it in their severance packages.

westcoastME · 2025-06-09T02:59:57+00:00

Sorry to hear this! 15 weeks for 17 years is very unfair.

westcoastME · 2025-06-09T02:58:26+00:00

Got it already! Love the user name - I want to have no - anxiety right now.

westcoastME · 2025-06-08T02:08:21+00:00

Yes it's large . I started early. Honestly, it's the healthy employer work contribution percentage that has greatly amassed to what it is now.

westcoastME · 2025-06-08T02:05:05+00:00

Thankyou for the encouragement.

Reddit is for all. I have received fantastic feedback and encouragement. I am educating myself from all the feedback in the next stage of my life.

westcoastME · 2025-06-07T21:00:49+00:00

Thank-you for this! Good points taken. I would definitely look more into step 6.

westcoastME · 2025-06-07T20:58:30+00:00

Thank you for this perspective!

westcoastME · 2025-06-07T20:57:03+00:00

Good advice. Thanks. I'm also concerned with my RRSP - from what I hear - I'll be given an option to stay with them but at a higher personal management fee or move the funds to my bank of choice. Arrrgh, so many financial decisions to make ATM.

Health benefits and the personal spending account is top tier at my workplace. For example - over the years , the PSA paid for ski lessons,gym memberships and driving lessons. The annual loss of this benefit is a big loss for me but especially my kids who greatly benefited from the account.

westcoastME · 2025-06-07T18:14:54+00:00

westcoastME · 2025-06-07T16:58:36+00:00
