True story! I know Vancouver can be pricey and all but I've looked around and everything is priced out of control

Reason why I have to leave Victoria and Vancouver because of the HCOL in British Columbia. I tried my luck in Toronto with my siblings but expenses are almost the same. I am glad my company assigned me in Montreal.

All kidding aside, it's ridiculously frustrating. I love Vancouver, but something's got to give.

Lol this really hits home, it's been getting tougher and tougher out here

HAHAHAHAHHA this is all too real.

Vancouver rent is reasonable when compared to other major cities. 2-3k for a 1br is normal or even low for major coastal cities (Seattle, SF, LA, SD, Boston, NYC)

House price is unreasonable compared to the job market in Vancouver however

Hahaha! I am laughing so hard right now. This is funny because it's true. Oh gosh.

OMG! If this isn't me. I feel very seen right now. LOL

Yup! Rent is so expensive. Still saving up cause I wanna buy a house someday.

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY.

I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

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?
