There are many articles, stories and rumours about the cost of Vancouver Canada, and I've wondered what the actual residents of Vancouver truly felt. I got some very intriguing answer and insights, so make sure to watch the entire video to see what everyone thinks!
I hope that this video gives you a better understanding of how much this beautiful city costs, and help you find out if Vancouver is the right fit for you and your lifestyle.

Maybe she's including her parents' allowance in her 'income'. Even for a biased sample size skewed towards current university-goers and staff, that lady's situation is an anomaly which I think hurts the overall results shown in the video.

    • @WonbaeSon
      @WonbaeSon หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sometimes yes but I notice the general public often prefers the bigger, more established neighbourhoods in Burnaby & Coquitlam like Brentwood, Metrotown or Lougheed/Coquitlam centre because there are just way more shops and more going on like with big malls around it. However new west I feel is underrated for how walkable it is and feel like there is more growth to happen with such central location. New west, however, for a long time did have a reputation for its questionable safety and homelessness which still lingers to this day

    You are right. I lived there for a long time and it was a wonderful place to live. As you mentioned gang violence was ever present in the entire metro Vancouver area since 90s. And mind you most of these gangsters aren’t even immigrants, but local born and raised middle class immigrant kids who grew up in the 90s. But the news and ignorant people tend to blame recent immigrants for it. I remember chinatowns around the world used to have similar connotations attached to them before and similar gangster like communities emerged from them and were active until 2010s. However, uninformed public will always use their preconceived notions to spread notoriety for a specific group to never stand for self reflection. For example, they never seem to ask why did middle class immigrants raise kids who ended up going the ways they went in the 90s and 00s? It’s a very bizarre to keep blaming outsiders who have nothing to do with it and are often more astonished and shocked by the situation.

    Thanks for sharing! Damn, so I did some calculations. To live this lifestyle and not save a cent. One has to earn $70K a year minimum for your lifestyle. The recommended living wage in Vancouver is supposed to be $60K. How things have changed. The average Canadian earns about under $64,000. For sure the expense is mostly on energy, food and housing. 25 ish this year eh? It honestly wasn't that bad when I first started out working. People got by with $45k or $50k.

    The reason Vancouver realistate is so expensive is because of foreign money being laundered in the market. The reason cost of everything is so high in Canada. IS because are government is printing money out of thin air then spending like a drunken sailor. The more money int he supply chain the less its worth. Meaning the higher your wages have to go to keep up. This is inflation more money printed = less the moneys worth. That's why in 2010 my brother bought a townhouse in Abbotsford for 182k We bought in 2019 the same town house in Abbotsford for 382k in the same complex. We sold the place in 2021 for 505k. Explain to me how in 11 years the price went from 182k to 505k for a 1975 townhouse ?

      Being that an average price of a home (condo, townhouse, houses combined) is $1.25m, and considering 20% down payment, it’s extremely hard to save that much, making it a near impossible goal for an average Vancouverite with a median income.

      In my case, yes because I work as a realtor and use my phone daily for work so for me, it is necessary. But for majority of the people, my plan is overkill and could save half the cost as you mentioned around $40 from Fido, Koodo or like Freedom mobile

    Grew up in the mainland. Went from 1400 for a whole 2000sqft house in the mid 90s to 2000 for 800sqft basement. Wages just havnt kept up unfortunately. Its definitely become a place that almost requires roommates or a so to live with just to split the cost of housing. This is the biggest factor for why we've seen the largest exodus from bc. Mainly moving to Alberta, USA or overseas, in that order. Making bout 80k/yr and finding it more difficult to save for future and/or vacations. Great video explaining the costs around here for anyone who is looking to move here. Though New West is a little more expensive area over Coquitlam, or Delta. Both neighboring cities. You wont really notice a good savings until you get out to Langley or Ridge

      I agree, wages most definitely haven’t kept up with the cost of living especially the housing compared to many other major cities that are also expensive like San Fransisco, and New York. Even though their cost of living is actually higher than ours in Vancouver, the gap between Vancouver’s median income vs the cost of living here is much larger than those of other US cities.

    Interesting how you're exactly the type of person to complain about the cost of living here, but you're eating out mutliple times a week. Maybe try cooking 7 days a week and see how much money you save. Sunday you had work cancelled? Then how about you go mow some lawns or do any extra work instead of going to the beach the entire day. People just complain about the cost here but don't take any opportunity to actually make a living.

      Hello Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your feedback and yes I’m sure I could be doing a lot more to cut back on my eating out. I think there’s some truths to people complaining but Vancouver IS a statistically very expensive city to live in, median income vs cost of everything, especially housing costs. I’ll get back to mowing some lawns 🫡🫡 I hope to hear from you in my next video too!

    Oakwyn Realty means you probably have a more sales oriented job so you might be used to going out more to take clients out. I would say your budget is reasonable for your age. You could consider buying what is on sale vs what you are craving.

    You could also add much more for to your monthly expenses if you did the following: Had sinking funds for things that will also come up, which I do. For example: Bday: $150/mth Christmas: $150/mth Clothing: $100/mth Car insurance/repairs: $150/mth Trips-Getaways: $300/mth This easily adds another $850/mth Plus, since you're a renter, you might be saving for a the down payment for a place of your own: $500/mth And, if you are into investing, which would be a great idea for someone your age, you could be doing that as well. Since you have a full time job and are pretty young, around $200/mth is a good place to start. This now adds another $1,550 to your monthly expenses, which I think is more realistic for someone in your place. Closer to $5,500/mth...? - if you're saving and investing like I do. (I'm twice your age and a home owner but it's not close to being paid off, yet I invest quite heavily each month, which will add to my healthy pension when I retire one day). In addiiton, you might want to save for an emergency fund of around $10,000 in case a big-ticket emergency item comes up, and at some point, it will. Nice video. I live in Vancouver as well and recognized some of your hang-outs. Good luck with your channel.

      You definitely made a good point there. This was a week where I didn’t count for any of those monthly or quarterly expenses. Perhaps I should make a monthly cost of living video to account for those unexpected costs like travel, shopping, and emergency expenses that come up like car/home repairs.

    Your Vancouver spending is similar to a student. The highest cost is $2000 housing. With everything else being adding together $4000+ a month or under $50000 is quite reasonable living. In the US, the food and other living expenses would but the same except in USD. This is assuming no traveling that require airfare or hotel stays as well as no gf which can cost quite a lot. Assuming $100000 a year salary is $70000 after tax. This leaves $20000 a year savings. The living expenses seem pretty fixed so it is a question of increasing salary / earnings to have more savings. It looks like responsible spending vs. frivolous.

    • @WonbaeSon
      @WonbaeSon 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your comment. I’ve definitely tried to keep my spending reasonable, having moved out at a younger age and trying to keep my expenses as low as possible even as my income rises. However, from my research, the median income for a single person in Vancouver is about $40,000-50,000k/year so it doesn’t leave much for savings if any. Vancouver salary is significantly lower than many of the major US cities, especially when you factor in how much more valuable US dollar is, compared to our Canadian dollar.
