So if your folks are gonna retire soon then you and ideally your brother too, needs to plan out a path to ensure you guys don’t lose the house.
You got a wee bit of time so you gotta make a plan.
Old fucks can get on the government tit. My mom and dad are both on OAS GIS CPP and they clear around 3k a month. That’s enough for them to eat and pay the bills since they were thrifty anyways. The mortgage is taken care of already so they live okay with 3k a month. Factor that into financial calculation
So if around 600k you still are doing 4-5k a month on mortgage and that means you should ideally have a combined income of 6-7k a month net. I mean even with these kind of numbers you’re barely keeping your head above water but it’s doable. So that’s a 100k a year job needed.
Either do your job currently, which you loath, and supplement with some gig economy stuff, or retool into a field that’s in demand. You can get a 100k a year trades job relatively easily in Vancouver or even in Calgary. Like I said conductors are short everywhere.

These fuck faces cheaped out. Used to be 10k signing bonus. |
My coworker was telling me about his time working at CP rail in Poco as a conductor during the pandemic.. wow it's some scary/thrilling shit and good chance losing a leg if you forget to put the brakes and the car starts rolling away and you gotta run and jump on. Also you're on call like 24/7. When can you start driving the train?
Also translink will pay your class 1 + air brake endorsement with decent pay.
Diamond mines in Northwest Territories or the Oil Sands in Alberta do 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Good pay with overtime but it's not for everyone. A guy I know just chills and monitors the automated trucks and override as necessary.
