Also for many Canadians it's a revenue problem. Collectively right now objectively things are much less affordable than they used to be.
Yes, everyone would benefit from making more money or getting a higher paying job. I’m not sure why you think that’s a counter point to having a budget and understanding your finances, which is something achievable literally everyone can do in like… an afternoon… and makes a significant impact on your life.

“I live in the US” yeah and go ahead and say where in the US.
