Seriously though Cliff's pretty much got it. I spent, in retrospect, stupid amounts of money in my 20's on things that I didn't really need to spend money on and rented until this year. Had I not done so, I still wouldn't have been able to buy anything I'd have wanted to live in even in the Calgary market, and if I was buying somewhere like Vancouver? Lololol. Not a chance.
If you don't already have real estate, or significant family assistance, you're in tough to get into the market. So you spend the money you might otherwise have put towards that unattainable goal into something else. "If I can't have that, at least I can live like this."

This about sums it up.
People can't afford what they want so the don't bother saving. I don't really blame them.
