Canadurrrr
So many people here seem to be in the same situation. You’ve actually killed it at life, people who graduated high school in the early 2000’s or later would have never dreamt of having millions of dollars in assets or grinding for a 200-300k per year job, you’ve exceeded all expectations and killed it.
And now you’re living worse than people who made a quarter of what you’re making 25 years ago.

I mean... it's just Vancouver/some parts of BC/Toronto isn't it? Not Canada as a whole.
Same thign in USA... Boston recently overtook San Fran as the 2nd most expensive place to live I believe... so you want to live in New York, Boston or Bay Area or even Los Angeles, you're going to be a different version of what success looks like than the guy in a suburb of San Antonio with a 4 car garage mansion he picked up for $450k.
That's not a "USA" problem... it's a people's wants and desires problem with a sprinkle of not enough protection of land purchases from foreign investment.
