“Before emigrating in Canada, I used to see pictures of nice locations all across Canada, nice and affordable houses and recreational facilities that made me dream of a better life. I told to myself that it would be impossible to be poor and to live and work in a country with only 30 million people and huge resources like no other country on the globe.
Now, 10 years later, two kids, lots of drug/gang related activities around me and higher daily prices on everything, I have a bank owned crappy life just because I bought a crappy house in Vancouver just to have a roof above us. And I’m continuously thinking what to do in order to afford my new “dream life” … maybe work 16 h a day, maybe put together my own little grow up just to make money that I need to survive.
And I’m looking with envy at the cheap and the amazing houses in Florida while dreaming to have my crappy house in Vancouver still standing when I’ll be debt free …. see you everybody in 30 years. This is unfortunately what this country can offer us at this time. Maybe in another generation. And I’m still wondering who’s enjoying all the good things that Canada has to offer to its citizen.”
