/biz/ - Business & Finance

Based on archived data, my salary is in the top 2% of income earners in Canada ( 250,000 CAD per year as a database administrator for a major bank - I've been in this industry for over 15 years, lots of experience and hard work and youthful years I will never get back ) and I'm priced out of buying a home in Toronto where I've lived for the past 25 years.

Pretty wild, not sure how anyone makes it here. Everyone in my social group pays $2500-3500CAD+ for a small studio apartment in a bad area. I'm thinking of moving to another province or country in the future because the numbers just don't make sense for me here any more.
