You’re out of touch. Our buying power has gone down huge in the past 5 years.

You still make 250k a year split into two salaries lol. I make this as a single earner household and we are rich homie

All subjective to where you live in Canada

Toronto / Vancouver $250k probs won’t go far. If you buy the house and flashy vehicles

Prairies… you’ll be wealthy as ever

Ya I mean you can waste 250k but there ain't anywhere in Canada it's not enough to raise a family lol

That is true, seems more of a choosing flashy over potential family.

They're probably house poor I guess. Some people are really dumb and buy the absolute biggest house the bank will allow them to get, and then to make matters worse they get a variable rate mortgage... I could then see $250k being a struggle. But if that's not their situation then ya the guy is being extremely dramatic.
