Most depressing clock in Canada????
 
Apparently there are about 28 different clock types in the world

I guess most of us own at least one or several on display in our homes but is this the most depressing clock in Canada?

Growth of debt per day almost 76 million :eek:

I was kind of surprised at my demise..2038 when I will be 74. I would have thought it would be later. not a smoker and a BMI less than 25.

That’s my birthday. Of course it may not be by then.

I got an extra 16 years by changing from pessimistic to normal. I may have to rethink my world view. How does one become normal?

Debt doesn't really matter, as budgets balance themselves, as one "nice", but not very bright, person once said!

One thought I've had concerns https://www.bbc.com/news/business-52393472.
At a time when no countries are doing well and all are borrowing to some greater or lesser extent, who has the resources to become a lender?

I found alternative sites doing the same. The one I tried gave me the date and then said I had a 5% chance of reaching it. What good's that? :lol:

If I selected 'normal' I die aged 79,
'Optimistic', I die at 101

Times like this kind of hard to avoid taking on more debt, only alternative is to let people go without food, and send them to the street. Sometimes no choice but to add to debt load to keep society functioning.
