These data are based on 1751 entries in the past 18 months from 258 different contributors.
But I've noticed that lately, the prices have been going up in double digits (10%+) overnight.
For example, two A&W Teen burgers (with coupon) that used to be $5 - 2 months ago are now $7 for two. That's a 40% jump. Even shopping with coupons is now not affordable anymore.
I go to a local supermarket, a few weeks ago, a box of minute maid carton of juice for $1. I thought "good deal" and bought one. A couple of weeks after that, the same box cost about $1.20. Then after that $1.80. It was keep rising and rising in a matter of a few months. you might say, oh it's only 80 cent difference. But is it? That's an 80% jump in a period of a few months!
Next time you go to the grocery store and check the price of milk. It's now $5 for a 4L jug. And a loaf of bread, about $4 or more. It's just getting harder and harder for middle class families.
Salaries have been frozen for the last few years but the price of living is going up very fast everywhere, and especially in Vancouver.
Your numbers are a bit skewed, currently in Vancouver you need to be making over $60K to have a basic one bedroom, own a car, save for retirement, and go out once in a while. Good luck!!!
(Does not take spousal incoming into account)
Rent ~ 1200 for 1bd in kits (expensive area)
Job ~ 2,800 / mo + stocks = 2,900 + benefits (skilled - room for growth)
Utilities - $20/mo
Internet - $30/mo (6Mbps w/ unlimited data)
Phone - $30/mo (w/ 6GB LTE data)
I wouldn't doubt city workers, and such get paid about the same as I do ($50-$60K), not to mention some of the construction jobs. Most technical and in demand positions would get paid this much.
Vancouver has catapulted the charts of the most expensive cities in the world to seize the second position by ousting Sydney, which hitherto had been enjoying this lauded place after Honk Kong. The median home price of Vancouver, according to a survey, depicted to be as high as 10.6 when compared to its MEDIAN PRETAX income. Sydney, in the same measurements came up to 9.2, while Hong Kong captured the highest position as the most costly city in the world to live with 12.6.
that is rediculous!
people that earn 2000$ are lucky
I would say all these numbers are pretty spot on!
