when a person earns a very low income, it's possible for he or she to live within the budget of $600 a month. but when the income is over $30000 per year, he or she will spend more money for a better life. That's why people feel very hard to save money in Canada. For some people, they always feel tight because they spend more money than they earned, even they make a lot of money every year.
The person we are talking about is a little mean to himself.
It's very very hard to save some money at the first three years.
if you do general labor , forget about it.
if you are lucky to do a professional job, you may consider buying a house or play.
anyway, you can't save a penny.
