Sometimes you just know quickly. My boyfriend and I had discussed marriage as a possibility before we'd even met in person (well under 2 weeks). We're waiting a while to actually get married. But at 81, if that's what you want, why not? A pre-nup probably isn't a bad idea for anyone. But...

I hate this misconception so much. You are not losing half your money! That presumes that 1 person owns ALL the money, and the other is entitled to $0. Unless you are paying lawyers half of your money, then you are each getting what you are entitled to - half of the joint money (simplified...

From Winnipeg to Yellowknife. :) It's -35C plus wind right now (feels like -47C) but I don't have to work outside so it's fine. No regrets.

This is probably part of it. Plus people are often just lonely and bored and like to have someone to talk to in a no pressure way. (Not that it couldn't be a scam.) I recently met my boyfriend online. He lived over 2,000 km away. But we hit it off extremely well, and immediately, and had all...

Ugh, she should be the one asking for a pre-nup as a way to force you to disclose your assets and debts and to actually discuss money. There's no way I'd marry someone who wasn't willing to talk about this kind of stuff. And I don't see a point in getting married without a pre-nup. If you're...

What do you eat for lunch? I stopped having the afternoon drowsiness when I figured out I was intolerant and went off gluten. Not that I'm super energetic or anything, but I don't have crashes anymore.

Yes, most packaged gluten-free foods are quite unhealthy, and gluten-free for most people isn't necessary at all. If you need gluten-free (as do my sister and I do) it's better to just eat naturally gluten free and minimize the processed food all together. Though I do like being able to have...

What would happen if you just quit?

Hello, from another Winnipeger. Currently I've decided to go the semi-retirement route at 38. I'm done with my corporate job at the end of the month and the growth/interest from my savings will cover about half my monthly expenses if I chose to go that way. I plan to work for myself and/or take...

I'm interested - sci fi fan and amateur editor. Kindle works fine for me.

I like to tell people that I'm on the anti-social committee at work. And of course I'm the only member. Though I'm sure others have their own committees.

I wrote about my Black Hills trip on my blog: Black Hills Journal Nearest to Mount Rushmore we stayed at the Rushmore Express in Keystone. It was good.

I'm in Winnipeg so if you need Manitoba specific info let me know (though from a Canadian perspective). I think the border procedures are adequately covered already.

So what about your spouse? Previously I've been INTJ, but close to INTP. This time, INTP, which is also what DH tested as. This seems really good for our early retirement plans but I was somewhat surprised that DH got the same as me since we're opposites regarding impulsiveness. I love to get...
