I make enough that I'd max out the EI cap here, though that's still something like 20-30% below the median income for families in the area according to statcan. It's almost like different areas have different costs of living, huh?
I live in a small but comfortable apartment, but around here that goes for slightly north of $2/sqft. If I move further away from work I can get slightly more sqft, but it doesn't get any cheaper because the difference is eaten up in transit costs. Food and misc other expenses eat up most of the rest. The only way I could afford a kid is if my wife was bringing in a second income.
Yeah, I'm the 1%
