I read today that a Toronto house costs $932K. Gee, I should've researched this place before moving here. How does a middle class person afford this ? I reached out to my friends on LinkedIn who managed to not get laid off. Apparently the salaries are around 85K. Assuming wife works, and on similar salary, that's 170k/yr paying a $932k house.
Apparently it's worse in BC. There is an opening in my field and my friend is trying to hook me up. House is about a million and the manager wants to offer 70K for 10y experience. My friend lives in a Townhouse and his wife works so that's how they survive.
