Going into the new years just curious to set some financial benchmarks for me and my wife. What is the retirement number, current and retirement age and current gross household income for different folks living in GTA area and how do you plan on achieving that?

For e.g current age 30, retire at 55 years of age with x million CAD while staying in GTA and gross household income currently is 230k.
Plan to invest x CAD per month into assets assuming a return of y%

Assuming retiring is not in the books haha unless we move out of canada. I’m 31, husband is 38, household income 280k, have about 250k in savings/investment plus a condo. Feel like we’re doing fine but if we decide to have kids we’re f’d.

Accounts in forbearance, even administrative forbearance, are calculated at a higher monthly payment by the underwriter.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.

So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?

Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?

I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
