Crazy how those who work like crazy have to pay for our kids to go to university eh ?
No freebies with most anyones kids or grandchildren here

If you arent a doctor or lawyer coming out of University, you will be chasing the dream forever. You will become a work a day slave to the system shelling out 35% of your earnings forever with the hopes you make it to a retirement plan.

"with the hopes you make it to a retirement plan."

And when you retire you don't get caught in a "Moron Factor" with your lifetime retirement savings melting away due to inflation.

You are somewhat correct Furrow, but the Feds heavily subsidize post-secondary education in Canada.

But in a round about way you and I pay our fair share of taxes so our children's tuition is subsidized using our tax dollars. .

My thoughts are that I will continue to keep doing at what I'm doing so my children and grandchildren have a good life.

My grandparents and parents did it for me.

No use wasting my energy thinking about the non-contributors around me.

Whats crazy is us working eighteen hour days , up to our elbows in grease and grime, so that a good portion of the population can sit on their ass and collect welfare.I have a nephew who says he works for trudeau,sits at home and collects 2000/mo.I have nothing but respect for the newcomers to our country who go to work everyday with a smile and are damn happy to have a job and live in a free country.Guess im getting bitter in my old age as i head out at 630 in the morning to change bearings on the old disc.Terrible job but needs to be done.At least if nothing else i have taught my kids when there is work to be done you just do it without question.

That sounds like an excellent strategy for managing your own stress level. But I guarantee you that the non-contributors spend a lot of their time thinking about the contributors, and how to drag us down to their level.
