This is key. I spent my childhood here, 20s in Toronto largely, and in Calgary again in my 30s. My life is measurably better here now than it would have been had I stayed in Toronto as we started a family and advanced my career. But I also liked being there at that stage of my life - it was fun. Into retirement, I could see being a snowbird, for sure.
