Dear @Keeping_positive1,
My thoughts are: Yes, a sudden dive into poverty along with a cancer diagnosis and on-going gruelling treatment - the a person can have! I am sitting here writing with holes in my undies. After diagnosis and treatment starting in June 2017 I was not able to work for one year. I gratefully accepted financial help from CanAssist in the form of petrol and grocery vouchers. I do have some super, but as I intend to last for another twenty years, I do not want to break into that too much. I was able to return to work for one year, but when I reached retirement age, ungrateful wretch that Iam, that's what I did! I think your 'network name' hints that you are able to have a laugh and enjoy life despite the struggle trying to make ends meet. What are your strategies for having some cheap fun?
