Your monthly NET income in Alberta would be about 9600. Taking student loans off, that leave you with 4500 a month.

If money is tight at 4500 a month, you didn't plan well.
Unless my numbers are wrong it'd actually be closer to $11K a month at $210K after deducting tax, CPP, and EI. And then when you factor in the tax deduction you get from student loan interest that adds another $500 a month or so. So with a $5100 student loan payment that person would be taking home somewhere in the $6200 range after everything.
