So the answer is no. You probably saved up enough for said cheap house and future living expenses from your tech job.
Right now, in Canada, the average rent is like 70% of the average income. If you enter the workforce today, in a myriad of professions, it's looking like there is zero chance of ever owning a home if you're not at least 2 standard deviations above average.
- uncircle 1y agoThankfully, I do not live in Canada nor in USA, and I do not wish to live anywhere expensive. I just have very modest requirements and acceptance that I will not be able to afford anything better than a fixer-upper. I have been saving from less than a year of work; I previously ran through 10 years of savings taking a long break after burnout. The type of burnout that turns you off completely from a career path, to the point that carrying bricks sounds more fun.
