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.

Fix it then if you’re going to be abrupt about it. Stop whining and acting entitled to something better and do something better.
