K-town is really becoming posh...
Just read in the paper that the average household income for a family in the 'Kanata South' riding is over $95,000!
Holy crap! I know real estate here is getting crazy, but now I understand how these folks can afford to buy those 300, 400K monster houses.
I know this is really a sign of how many families have become double income, but standard of living costs usually adapt to what families can afford. That's really going to leave single income households in a bind down the road..

Mom and Dad have been saying this (sink income family is a thing of the past) for about as long as I can remember. $300K no longer gets one a "monster house".
Double income no kids - DINK
Single income numerous kids - SINK !
I mean "single income family..."
It really is...
Its coming to the point where many people aren't going to be able to afford being a stay at home parent.
Just to add to Jon's fun...
Double income, little dog only: DILDO
See, that's why I am moving to the states for 2 years to make
110,000$ a year....SO I can keep my future husband in the style he is accustomed to...whatever that may be.......But for now I am happy being a SUGAR.
Student Under Govenment Assistance Regulations...=POOR!!!
Yo DJ, whatchya going to be doing to earn $110,000 (and why is it such an odd number?)
Yo Anon, I'll have a BScn.in Nursing...They pay us smart Canadian Nurses the BIG BUCKS, in Texas!!! So we can pay off our huge student loans. Guess I don't get "talked about" enough around you eh????hehehehehe
Oh...forgot..Anon: The 110$ is odd because that's net salary, and they pay for housing, so it turns out to be more...
I just heard you're a pretty face who can spin discs! Geez, some people!!
Update:
In this week's paper, they reported the average household income for Kanata North:
More than $110,000!
Holy frakin' crap!
Apparently I live in the Kanata ghetto! ;)
Dude, don't forget that the "average household" has two people working full-time. So take that $110,000 and divide by two. If you're pulling in more than that $55,000, you're doing okay :-)
