FYI. 老加年薪4万3的幸福生活. A native Canadian's life with $43,000 annual incoming. S/He is happy/satisfied with his/her life. Look at the details.

map(恭喜)

How is this for comparison?

I earn $43,000 per year. I live about an hour away from Toronto (in Bowmanville). I bought myself a small, modest townhouse recently which I pay for entirely on my own. About half of my monthly salary pays for my mortgage and all of my utilities. I manage to put aside $100 per month into my RRSP retirement fund. I drive a VW, which I managed to pay off the loan on. I also manage to have fun! I go out for dinner/movie maybe once a week, I buy little things for my house, and I have a decent wardrobe. I am taking my holidays at the end of May and spending a month in Europe.

Does this give you an idea?

The main thing here is to PRIORITIZE!!! I manage my money carefully and think twice before buying just anything.

I think you will do just fine on $52,000! If I were you, I would consider boarding with someone to help cut down on rent expenses in Toronto. Good luck!

Intresting. $43,000 is before or after income tax? -jzwang(hello); 2001-5-4 (#60366@0)

肯定是税前。因为税后收入的计算比较复杂，无法一下说出来。三四万元的年薪养一个小家庭，不算宽裕，但也过得去了。 -rollor(Rollor); 2001-5-4 (#60404@0)

呵呵，好是好，不过这样的生活是不是有点太拘束了？买什么都要想来想去，银行存款肯定也不会有多少，万一临时需要资金去念书什么的呢？ -numnum(numnum); 2001-5-4 (#60412@0)

当你什么都可以买的时候，你可以保证那时最快乐吗？没有了渴望如何快乐。 -anitalee(moon river); 2001-5-4 (#60473@0)

赞同赞同！ -lumlumq(lumlum); 2001-5-4 (#60546@0)

一个人的话，挣多少SALARY 才能感觉比较舒服？不要奢侈，只要能有钱旅游和购买一般想要的物品？ -wander2001(wander); 2001-5-4 (#60477@0)

25000 is enough. -guest:; 2001-5-4 (#60588@0)

ARE U KIDING? I AM SINGLE WITH 35K SALARY. I DIDN'T SAVE 1 PENNY LAST YEAR. I DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE AND DID BUY ANY ENPENSIVE STUFF -guest:GUEST; 2001-5-4 (#60627@0)

花钱的方法不一样。当学生时$1000/月就觉得很富裕了。现在$3000 /月(税后)还觉得紧巴巴的。当然生活水平也变了，住APPARTMENT而不SHARE，开新车而不坐BUS。 -dilbert(UCD); 2001-5-4 (#60641@0)

最费银子的恐怕还是秘密腐败罢？！ -hearts(hearts); 2001-5-4 (#60777@0)

I guess for a single young guy, you can make a modest life for 65 grand a year. But you have to drive a small car and rent a cheap apartment. Remember, you have to put aside some savings every year for RRSP or other expenses, for example, travelling. -numnum(numnum); 2001-5-4 (#60645@0)
