I'm just an engineer, not in O&G, so it's not like I make a fortune either.
I have a mortgage that's larger than I would like, but my wife really liked this house when we moved here, so here we are.
I don't really have an answer to your question.

Do you live in Edmonton, or in a less expensive community around Edmonton?
I just can't help but think you're leaving something out.
Maybe you started life off with an inheritance? Maybe there is family money that subsidizes you? Maybe you are opting to save nothing for your kids' RESPs? Maybe your are under-saving for retirement? Or maybe as an engineer you have a large enough income that you can cover all that stuff independently, in which case good for you.
