Dude, it's not all that it's cut out to be. I own a new condo; just graduated last year. And... I can't afford anything else. Hell, I haven't done a full grocery shopping trip since July.
It's PAINFULLY expensive to live out on your own as a new grad in this city, especially if you're not in oil and gas. Most of the images you see likely refer to a small, small percantage of people our age making it big in this industry, or finance, or accounting, or whatever. There's more people out there - ALOT more - that can't afford this type of lifestyle than those that can.
