Very sad situation but, how did you have a mortgage without life insurance. I do not know of any bank that gives out loans like that without being insured.
Just shut NIB down. It has become a income tax and a scam. Giver everyone a one time couple dollars based on what they paid so far. I will forgo most of what I have contributed the last 20 years if they just end it. Please this has to stop! What % is enough? Maybe 110% will be enough to keep it going.
Right now I am pretty far from town and I am having to pay close to 5,000 dollars a year for shoddy internet so I can try and function in the online world we live in today. It is extorsion since I only have once choice. Starlink here I come.
It would be cheaper to pay them to stay home. Less office space, less government waste and theft, and less people getting in your way when you need something do. They work harder at trying not to work than if they actually did something.
Money is safer in a rock hole these days than in the loan shark banks who pay no interest, really do not give loans, and nickel and dime your money to death with fees.

While your premise is fine. The other side of the coin is the government needs to stop pandering and encouraging people to enter into such businesses if they are only going to pull the rug from under them. They promise the world and want local production but, no real leg work is put into place for them to thrive. While the imported windows will now be imported cheaper with no extra burden on the importer I am sure the local manufacturer faces a hurdle of bureaucratic and regulatory hoops to jump through to bring in his raw material duty free. This adds to the cost of his local production. Why are finished good duty rates being dropped and local producers raw materials still facing 30-45% duty on their raw materials and having to go through all kinds of B.S. and expense to get the concession? Drop the rates on raw materials and get rid of the concessions all together. Make everyone's life easy.
