It's like the story of a Vancouver woman who lived in an apartment in English Bay. She was a server when she moved there 10 years ago, and had no issue affording it. Over the years she got settled, went to school while working and became a lawyer.

She eventually had to move out of the same apartment as it was no longer affordable, despite becoming a lawyer and earning significantly more money.

If she can't keep pace with inflation going from a server to a lawyer, not sure what hope the rest of us would have.

I was making about 110,000 a year and gtfo of Vancouver in 2018. Saved way more money a year making 65-70 in south Alberta/Saskatchewan and now own my home outright.
