Mine is $1450. In Burquitlam area, 1 br studio above ground. Its absurd out here

I live downtown and I pay close to $1400 for a studio around 550 ft but that is primarily as my wife lived here since 2020, the same bedroom in the building cost $2000 and 1 br in the neighborhood is around $2400-$3000 it is indeed crazy 😅

$1700 near Patterson Station, 1BR apartment, second floor.

I'm in Olympic Village paying 2800 for a 1bdr, 700sqft. I know i'm in a more expensive area but how are you guys getting these prices?

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
