      Seriously shocked to see Vancouver on here, specifically because of that. How is it one of the most livable when so many people can’t begin to afford to live there?

        Same with Sydney. Rent and real estate is ridiculous in general. Livable if you share with 8 housemates, or have a really good salary

        Same with Toronto.

        Those 2 are the most expensive places to live in the country.

          I dont make a lot at all because I’m in school. I make half of what I did with a job in the US, but I will make about the same after my degree.

          But, rent and groceries are also half of what I used to pay. So, I’m in a degree now and my quality of life has not gone down at all. Oh and I’m paying down debt faster somehow. Let’s put it that way.
