    ^^^ now you know why I moved way south of the border

    Cost of living | With rent

    New York 100 100
    Toronto 95 76
    Stockholm 92 73
    Montreal 92 72
    Los Angeles 88 72
    Chicago 82 72
    Miami 78 69
    Berlin 76 56
    Prague 58 44
    Lima 56 39
    Mexico City 53 40
    Buenos Aires 51 38

    also this cost of living ranking is based on AFTER TAX currency, meaning that the relative rankings may not be the same if recalculated on the basis of PRE TAX currency. This may be part of the reason that a CAD$ 100,000+ pre-tax income doesn't make for a luxurious lifestyle !

    ^ Don't understand the chat Melonie? Why are the numbers lower "with rent"? Oh wait, nvm, I got it.

    Or it could be because you spend too much on the ladies...which is probably more accurate....

    But yeah, Toronto is hella expensive. I'm glad I have a good paying job!

    if you make over $100,000 CAD annually pre-tax ($97,434 USD) you're taxed 46% in this country. you get absolutely killed here.
