Many people complain, and i hear you, things are tough. I went from montreal to deep east on the"north shore" of Québec(10h ride from home) for a job in my field. Many of my friend told me i was crazy, moving so far for a job that didnt pay that well, almost part time. Almost 6 years later, I have a full time job making 80k a year, a beautiful home, a beautiful pregnant girlfriend and a beautiful dog, at 27 years old... Life is a bitch, it's true. Boomer killed the economy, and yes the house market is high, but staying where you at and complaining about it won't solve nothing. I know many of you keep on grinding for that. Don't stop, it will pay off in the end. Ps: i'm not saying you are complaining OP, I don't know your struggle and i don't mean to offend you. Stay strong!
