Dual income at 63k, I think would get taxed as 31.5k income per person? This is marginal tax rate of 20.06%, and an average tax rate of 13.35%. After tax income is at $27,295 x 2 = $54590
For a single income to match this after tax pay, it'll take a gross pay of $69,220.
Despite how the OP says he/she is not looking down on the couple, that's exactly the tone I got from the post. No matter how rich/poor the working people is, they are better than the rich leaching class of Vancouver who made easy money from Asia, buy up million dollars worth of property locally, give hundreds of thousands for their kids for downpayment, and claim next to 0 income when filing their taxes...
To make matter more infuriating, they come out criticizing the hard working people of Vancouver that they are the lower class, they are useless, they'll never catch the real estate 'bubble'.
As long as it's their own dime, tax paid in full, who should be there to criticze how the couple spend their money? Some likes to dump all their money in a mortgage. Some likes to rent and spend instead of putting money into bubbles. As long as they don't spend more than they make, I don't see what's wrong with the way this couple is managing their income. Besides, whatever falling out of their spending habbit is their own mess to clean, don't see why there should be any finger pointing going on. |
