65k is worthless now? what r u on about, avg wage in canada is like 40 a year and im putting 65 on a car
your anecdotal evidence is not a big enough sample size to describe th entirety of canadians (especially given you talk like you have 3 friends irl of which 2 dont like u) textsource
u are not rich, you dont even qualify for affluent, unlucky
I have a retarded amount of friends, a small amount of which I consistently talk to, but the sample size is def in the hundreds.
But bro, not only did u say over 22 when its 21.2 (which acc makes a pretty big difference when ur looking at distribution on this scale)
But this is pre-tax, I'm not getting a car with tax money
This is also not just people / workers all together
This is strictly full time workers
No unemployed people
Pre tax (when tax rates at that amount in canada are like 30%+ depending on your province
Most of those people are 30-50
You can not put 65k on a car and actually afford it properly if you're making 100k a year even POST-tax
holy cope "i have so many friends" not even going to address this
Well yea, if we're speaking objective truths and leaving so called "cringe" out of it, I objectively have a lot of friends.
the stats being 2 years old actually heavily helps my arguments, immigration into canada has massively raised unemployment, part time employment, and low wages from entry level workers flooding in by quite literally the millions a year.
and yes I realize that, but the majority of that 100k band are going to be below 200k
32k beemers? yea if u get like a 3 series, but I have an f82 with 40k on it, also no I am literally 19 RIGHT NOW, and I just bought it 4 months ago. spending 60 bands on a car is stupid, but not when cars is your hobby, main motivator, and passion. I've wanted an f82 since they dropped when I was a little ass kid, ofc when i can get one comfortably I will, especially saying as I'm literally living with my parents and paying 0 rent because of how stupidly unaffordable housing in canada is, and that I don't need to move out right now.
"uncomfirmed data to suggest" isn't something thats gonna sway me into believing that Canada isn't retardedly overtaxed (Ik how to file taxes lmao)
"Upper middle class" Yea bro, maybe for a household income, u gotta be off your rocker if you think making grown man PHD wages at 19 is "mid", but It's obvious throughout your responses that you have underlying biases, and are just tryna hate even though u know damn well at your age you would've wanted to be in my situation.
"Software developers" LOLLOLOLOLOLLOL
at 19 he is pre-grad, so cannot have been a PPO or a job. From what I know of working myself and friends, I would mark it down to investing fathers money, contractual freelancing (if he has usable skills), dropshipping, some FBA, a little bit of government bonds (for the stable income source he claims to have but doesnt) and not sure about this one but crypto.
If his daddy is someone of minute importance, then insider trading (which is a crime kids of his age will never understand the gravity of) i could be entirely wrong tho but the amount of times he posts here and spends being a chronically online kissless beta virgin adds volumes and mountains of evidence to support my suspicions
I do have a stable income, and I'm going to school after this semester thats coming up which'll put me 3 years on track to making 220k+ at starting wage, and that's outside of me investing everything I get that doesn't go to my car. I have the same business connections as a 40 year old white collar worker, and know more than enough to get into real estate right now, but I'm waiting for a geographical move before I start so right now I'm just stacking knowledge.
