    I made that decision many years ago, that's why I drive truck. Sometimes we make that sacrifice, and things work out better in the long run.

    I'm not poll savvy, can't even edit my spelling mistake.

    I should have put better, but other factors.

    Encouraging early results. Mostly better, no one has said worse and it's the bogiemans fault.

    Could you please add an "I am doing worse because of daddy Trudeau." option to the poll?

    Tried to make it generic, like the no personal responsibilty option. Make Daddy Peterson cry more.

    What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people trying to obtain a job like mine.

    And that's why I am doing ok. I've worked hard over my career (as has my wife) to allow us both 6 digit incomes. I also made money in real estate values since I moved to Calgary in 2000. Our "success" (I use the term lightly) is lately quite in spite of the economy.

    I gotta say though, it has taken its toll. My health is on a very slow decline, and I'm not sure if I'll be physically or mentally able to successfully work to 55 - let alone further. So while we are doing A-OK right now, that can all change fairly quickly.

    No, it's called Oedipus complex according to Peterson, or the personification of hermeneutic naivete according to Petersons idol prior to going mad.

    We just call it "daddy issues" today. Like your daddy abused your anus as a child, so any smarmy man with perceived power over you (like Trudeau) reignites these feelings within you.

    Your welcome. The bill is in the email.

    So all that whining about how bad things are because of Trudeau, and most people are doing better.

    Weird.

    And only 5 lame ducks haven't learned about personal responsibility.

    Crazy.

    I've had a nice raise but I feel like I'm no further ahead or behind. Been thinking quite a bit about going back out on my own again. Maybe a bit less money but a much better work/life balance and less dealing with pompous idiots.

    To be honest, I'm surprised 27% were willing to admit they haven't learned about personal responsibility and openly admitting it.

    I guess probably many votes there simply since the voting is anonymous and they wanted to prove me wrong.

    But yeah, I was right. Most people are doing better. Thanks for polling!

    Toma is ididt
    Cumulative price index change in Canada in 10 yrs is 25%.
    An $80k salary in 2012 should be $100k just to remain at par with everything else.

    $500k 2012 house would be $625k to remain at par.
    Find me that house. It's $850k+ well beyond what someone's salary is moving at.

    Add in tax increases and the depreciation of the Cdn dollar against the USD and, no you are not doing better unless you have an offshore account and are on PJ's every other long weekend.

    This is not a metric of hard work, smart work, etc.

    This simple poll proves we are better off.

    Is the lowly worker underpaid? Of course. But you capitalists are all about the "incoming tide lifts all boats" BS.

    Except when it doesn't, it's Teudeaus fault.

    We are doing much better relative to other G8 counties. And since we are (or should be) a net exporte of goods and services, a strong US $ and inflation is good for us.

    As long as WFH is continuing to be a thing, none of these inflation matters. The money I ain't spending on parking and gas basically offset food and energy cost increase.

    And not able to leave the country last 3 years probably saved me like $60K-$70K.
