Re: 30 and living at home
One thing I can definetely say about owning a home/condo in Vancouver about all of my friends who are 30, and that is they all own with a wife or live in girlfriend. There are only a couple of single friends I have that are 30 and they either rent 1 bedroom places or live with their parents. My one buddy pays $1,000 a month living downtown. Remember the CDN$ is basically the same as the US$ these days.
For the salary I was making $1000 rent would be pretty steep. If I did that to try and have a fun time and meet girls living downtown, I could probably only afford to pay that for I'd say a year, then move back home and save money, or move out to a cheaper place.
1 bedrooms in the Vancouver area range from $600 in the suburbs to $1000+ downtown. Downtown, you'd get like 600 sq feet max.
