Pretty basic question that I'm trying to gauge opinions on...

What is the minimum gross salary that one needs to earn to move out on their own in Calgary either through renting or owning while maintaining and average lifestyle (~$500 a month on "fun", groceries for one, minimal to no car payment)

condo, townhouse or house...

Go!

P.S. oh and in a decent neighbourhood... Minimum wage in Forest Lawn doesn't count.
