I lived in Vancouver (proper) for many years and as a developer $70k is a joke. Even moreso now that the Canadian dollar is hovering around 70 cents.

I now live in a city where the cost of living is substantially lower, and I make substantially more (about 100k). I could make more, but I don't have to. I spend about half my time traveling, something every Vancouver person aspires to do and yet never does. Leaving that city was the best choice I ever made.

Certainly I will visit in the future but I will never move back.



May I ask where you live?
