Well, I understand your numbers and the risk. But the world doesn't work according to charts.
Canada may just turn into a country like India. Where there is no middle class. Only super rich and majority of the people are living in extreme poverty.
Where do college grade working in Vancouver? Except students with professional degrees, lots of them work as customer service at Rogers or be a bank teller. And still live with mom at 30. And still paying student loans if they hasn't defrauded them.
Please don't tell me you can eat instant noodles for the whole month. Like the old commercial says "Eat instant noodles 5X a day" it still costs $116.25/no. I seriously don't know how fibbi's $200/mo grocery budget works. But I am not going to argue that.
