Met my ex in college. She was into accounting.
Opened my first shop and she did the books for a year and a half before she left. Took 7 years to even get someone who's fix them properly, $10,000 and $40,000 worth of CRA fines.
Should've known as the company she worked for before had "wellness benefits". If you didn't take any sick days you got an extra week's pay. Every year she'd spend it several times in advance and then be shocked to discover she took 20-25 sick days the year before and didn't qualify.
When I first met her she was paying off her divorce to one of those "Detrimental Finance" outfits, like $35 every payday - go to their office with cash - $1 went to the principal.... ended up whipped out my wallet and paid off her whole loan out of one EI cheque.
That's what you're in for if you convince yourself you're 'just not good at math'.
