Healthcare is crumbling before our eyes, millennials can not buy houses anymore and rent is skyrocketting. The living wage in Halifax is estimated to be $21.50 an hour.
My mortgage is $1250 a month or so and only because I bought years before the current bubble so i am ok, but i am keenly aware of the struggles of my staff. The average 2 bedroom apartment here is $2000 and the daycare cost for 2 kids is in the neighborhood of $1100 a month. Even if both parents make double minimum wage, you get taxed out the asshole and take home $4300 a month, and if you have any interest payments, car payments, insurance that's another $500-700 bitten off.
