    I’d take just one single measly Canadian million dollars, buy a ~300-400K small house far from the city with enough land to have peace and quiet, and maybe try a greenhouse for vegetables.

    That leaves enough money with what I already have to cover never working again, various moving expenses, some repairs and renos, and maybe the occasional weekend transexual escort in my whirlpool.

        First I said "That leaves enough money with what I already have " and second CPP and QPP will kick in before that. I can live easily on that. I need little.

          Cpp and qpp is not a lot. You’ll want to reinvest to subsidize Luckily with the house market when you have to go into a home you can sell the house for a decent retirement home. Just make sure you book into a good one early enough. They have 2 yr waiting lists in some places.

            I’d rather blow my brains out than end up in a home. They’re organized fleecing and meat warehouses.
