Only government employees have indexed pensions, and they're trying to get rid of those too. Our public/government-funded pension plans are in better shape than yours in the States, thanks to some tough action by previous governments, but they don't pay out as well. You definitely need your own retirement savings, and that's getting harder & harder for many people to do. <br /><br />As for the snow... practice!! ;) lolloribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-16724087792138851602016-01-24T09:07:17.949-05:002016-01-24T09:07:17.949-05:00The snow photos were at least partly for your enjo...The snow photos were at least partly for your enjoyment, Mali. ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-82069732859106526552016-01-23T21:12:16.747-05:002016-01-23T21:12:16.747-05:00Ten posts this month!

(I am also a wee bit jealous.)<br />And of course, I always love hearing about (and seeing photos of) snow. Such a novelty!Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-61427557813835866662016-01-23T18:22:07.278-05:002016-01-23T18:22:07.278-05:00Pensioner.

With the latest crop of Republicans they seem to want to make it impossible for anyone to ever retire. Period. Canada is looking better and better every day. You even know how to manage snow :-)Pamela T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11474998003921896431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-78548258697725363272016-01-22T22:47:00.714-05:002016-01-22T22:47:00.714-05:00I remember walking to work after the 1999 snowstor...I remember walking to work after the 1999 snowstorm! I was one of very few that made it in that day, and I got paid for doing almost nothing, because the hospital was so quiet. It was a lovely but challenging walk- nothing was shoveled or plowed, so I was trudging through some pretty deep snow. Happy memories!Catwoman73http://www.twoadultsonechild.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-82568388406500968792016-01-22T15:03:51.649-05:002016-01-22T15:03:51.649-05:00Ah, yes, snowmageddon ... that's more or less ...Ah, yes, snowmageddon ... that's more or less what I think it will look like here ... we're supposed to get about two feet. We'll see. I'm not looking forward to it! (And too funny about being "carded" ... I guess it could have its advantages?) :)Justine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190295175501659469noreply@blogger.com
