Pretty obvious debt is the solution. I can start to see how this is getting dangerous here in Canada. People at that income should not be spending that on a mortgage period. Just a totally dangerous situation.
I would like to know what insane bank is approving that. I couldn't get anywhere close to that with RBC, which is perfectly reasonable.
