$$$ and opportunity

The woman I followed from Washington DC, to Florida, to Massachusetts, returned home in Toronto. So naturally, I immigrated 😍
Now married with 1.5 yr old son and planning 2nd. We’re 14 years in.

I did a bit of that early on to get extra info on where I stood with other potential dates but felt comfortable with my competition and ultimately got them cut

I have always seen myself living in an idyllic neighborhood. When I had an opportunity to work in Toronto, I grabbed the chance. I'm living my dream now. I just love the perfect blend of business, culture and entertainment.

A job! My sister had been living here for five years. She convinced me to come here and find a job. So far, I am loving it here.

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
