I have a small amount in my TFSA, have tried to build it up for some time, but too often there's just nothing left. My investments have recovered a few percentage points, but are still down significantly, as are my wife's.
I remember only too well the 80s, ridiculous interest rates, and high unemployment. BTDT, have no wish to revisit those days.

In 1980 we were trying to sell our house to move to Belleville so our daughter could go to the school for the deaf. Our interest rate was 14%. I asked the bank manager if I could let the buyer assume my mortgage to help sell the house. It had been on the market for 8 months and we were renting a place in Belleville because Jen had to be there.
The SOB said no because we can get more money. The heartless bastard. It finally did sell though but sure were tough times with just me working and paying rent and the mortgage. We look back on it and laugh but it did make us closer.
The Good Old Days lol
