    A decent house costs over a million where I’m at, I don’t think those studies account for inflation

      Steeve, unless you live in Palo Alto, you have a very pinky in the air definition of decent. I said X SDs above the average so that would account for inflation. I don’t know the current number. At one point I think it was like $270k a year. Nothing completely insane. I would guess now it’s probably like $450k a year roughly. You make that and you are as happy as someone making double that.

        Southern Ontario, Canada, namely the GTA. Houses with boarded up windows have sold for $600k.

        $450k a year roughly. You make that and you are as happy as someone making double that.

        Lol bullshit
