Most people in this city are still relatively well off and will have no need to fire sale their home. There's enough government programs, and EI to keep afloat for at least the next year with some discretionary spending oversight. Further, most of these people have investments/RRSPs. The people that go under, would have done so if oil was $100. Either way, its unfortunate.
That's BS. When the bottom fell out in 2015, one of my buddies worked Superstore stocking until he got back to an engineering gig a year or so later.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That's said, trying to get a min wage job is easier said then done if you came off a 6 digit salary. Most employers doesn't want to bother, especially you got the wrong attitude.
Yeah it's actually shocking difficult to get minimum wage work when you are 40+ professional. Source, I had issues doing exactly that.

Went and patronized the Poke bowl place in Cenovus’s brand new empty building, no one in line. Tough times over there.

The industry has been pure shit for years to the point that $40 WTI and $10 netbacks are being celebrated. If you didn't see this coming, it on you, and the shitty government with no foresight, but mostly you. It's infuriating to see people complain about not having enough savings when the fucking EIT is driving a tricked out Honda Fit while taking multiple expensive vacations a year.
Granted, there are plenty of good people like ExtraSlow who makes $150K+. We shouldn't put them in the same bucket and we shouldn't be upset at them. Remember that this entire province has been more or less built on O&G, allowing many of us to afford some nuggets once in a while. I simply don't feel the need to pray for them.
Neg rep me bitches.
Yeah that deal at the car rental place was only because I knew someone there really well. I was totally unable to get jobs elsewhere for minimum wage, including at Amazon warehouse, and a few other places that have the reputation for "always hiring". I can't explain it, but people seem to really prefer people who look like they can't do any better. I don't know if they think the dedication will be higher, or what, but employee turnover in those positions is really high anyway. Hard to see someone like me as a worse "flight risk".This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

That is true, which further emphasizes the need to keep saving more than what you think you need.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So if you make 145k does that mean you aren’t entitled anymore?
