    First I said "That leaves enough money with what I already have " and second CPP and QPP will kick in before that. I can live easily on that. I need little.

      Cpp and qpp is not a lot. You’ll want to reinvest to subsidize Luckily with the house market when you have to go into a home you can sell the house for a decent retirement home. Just make sure you book into a good one early enough. They have 2 yr waiting lists in some places.

        I’d rather blow my brains out than end up in a home. They’re organized fleecing and meat warehouses.

          Yes, but between that and the absolutely miserable situations I’ve seen some elderly end up in… I’d take the fleecing. At least there you’re guaranteed a change of diaper and clothing before the inspector comes through.

            Aging is an absolute horror. We as a species sit here with our opposable thumbs up our collective rectums and hoot and holler about 8K streaming and AI instead of focusing on anti-aging.
