As for housing...what starter homes are you talking about that are available at anywhere close to 65k these days? A small townhouse costs 300k in a bad neighbourhood.

Personally I had to get a doctorate degree before I was qualified for a job that paid for more than my basic needs. Try living off $10-15/hr after taxes and see how easy it is to save anything.

Even now with my doctorate degree it will be years before I'll have a down payment together for a house I probably can't afford.


This townhouse is $310k in Silverado (next to Spruce Meadows)
