When I was 23, the house I lived in burned to the ground. I was asleep, and got out with nothing but my pjs and my roommate’s dog. When you lose your house it is not about the sofa or tv. It’s the concert t-shirt you bought with your best friend, and the last letter your grandfather wrote you.

At every moment, there exists someone suffering more than you. And someone suffering less than you. This was true for every person who ever lived, at every moment they were alive. There will never be a moment when the entire world will be happy. Nor when the entire world will be stable.

Message to the convicted felon in Mar-A-Lago: Unlike you, Canadians don't need to boast or brag. They are fair and they are steadfast. They won't lose sleep when a slob like you hurls insults. That's because Canadians know who they are. And when push comes to shove, Canadians are as strong as fuck.

There's no knight in shining armor to come rescue you at retirement. Take things into your own hands and start investing. Start small, automate it and forget it. Put your money in low-cost index funds, your future self will thank you! My personal favorite is Vanguards S&P 500 index fund VOO.
