The cut off for being in the 1% is like $190,000. So you are still making at least 90-100K living in Kelowna.

That's a pretty livable wage still. You might have to tighten the belt a bit, but I think most families survive on less.

If the lake life, golfing, and Kelowna's activities are what your family loves to do then it would be worth it.

There are a lot of people in Canada working and saving so that they can afford to be where they want to be when they retire(eg Mexico, Arizona, etc.).

If you can live your entire adult life in a desirable location and still make decent money, that's a pretty enviable position to be in.

If you decide its not for you, there is always an opportunity to go back to Calgary.

Edit: The gov pension is probably better than SHELL's pile of crap.
