Lol, definitely relatable!

Seems to be a familiar story - its called superannuation over here and it gets whittled away by fund mangers and fees! You have said a lot in so few words - good one ay!
In the US, we pay into Social Security, which is a nice idea in theory but will be most probably gone by the time I'll decide to retire like in my 80s.
Lol 😂 The U.S. has something similar.
Sounds similar to the Social Security System in the U.S. In theory, it's great, but politicians can never ignore a pile of money.
I prefer to add to tsfa and have that as my rrsp. Like I do like how it reduces the taxes we pay but I feel being taxed so heavily when you take it out is awful. I invest in places like Costco and dollar tree and Empire.
Yes, we did.
Sold for sh**? I think?
