I had a few of my english friends visit me about a year and a half after we all left Disneyworld. They were shocked that i had a car and a townhouse without borrowing any money from family while working a 30 hour week job. They said it would take them like 12 to 15 years to be in the same boat I was in England. Course you can't really buy a 1200 sqft condo for $80k anymore here.. hehe
Sure sometimes it's cold as hell here, but I can't think of a better place to work and live than Calgary!
My sister in law just bought a 700 square foot 3 bedroom apt in Hongkong for $1.4millionUS. insane!!! The actual size of the apt is only like 580 sq ft but they count the balcony as sq footage as well as the area outside your front door to the elevator.
