      If you've done that well in Canada by age 35, then obviously the country has served you well. Why would you leave? Don't you have any friends or family, or any cultural or historical attachment that would make you want to stay? If not, that's rather sad.

      Your logic doesn’t make much sense. If the bubble pops our net worth remains “relative” the same. Renters catch up a bit. Boomers get hurt only if they have to sell for assisted living. I could give two Fs is my house goes down 25%. What difference would that make to my day to day life? None.

      Most "net worth statements" are for a couple, not for a household of say 4 adults who may happen to live in the same household. So if there are 4 adults, say a woman and man and her parents, there would typically be two net worth statements.

    The top 1% of people in Canada make around $350,000 or more per year. For the rest of us it's a different story. Many people are concerned with what different sectors and jobs pay in Canada. The real question we should be asking is how much a percentage of your income do you keep as disposable income after the essential needs are paid for. In recent years inflation has become a pressing issue for most Canadians. Most do not have even $30,000 cash on hand if something bad happened like a serious illness, injury, or job loss. It is hard to save money aside from a company pension plan (if your lucky to have one). People are broke, living on credit, and often past due on bills. For anyone thinking of moving to Canada, do serious research on variable cost of living in each city. Canada is an expensive place to live, and you will have a hard time saving a significant amount of money.

    Not sure I buy this one -- How can the average even be as high as you said, when many in their 30s or 40s might have better jobs, but likely are only a few hundred thousand into a 1 to 1.5 million dollar mortgage, plus this isn't factoring in any other debts (cars) or credit card debt they might have. Arguably if the numbers are true, then I guess many are doing better than it would otherwise seem.

    This video seems accurate to me. Real estate purchases before the surge in immigration (mid 90s to mid 2010s) have really attributed to net worth.
    Under 44, they havent really earned enough from their job to have a good net worth.
    45-64's surge in net worth is reflective of 2 things.... (1)They bought Mag 7 / tech cheaper. This is not as significant as the 2nd part. (2)people who have owned their houses for 10+ years (They bought those houses for much cheaper than today).
    65+ dip in net worth also makes sense. Those ppl arent going to be as aggressive in their investments as 45-64 so they probably didnt get much exposure to tech and Mag 7. As well, since they are older, they probably down sized their homes to smaller homes or condos. So their home didnt gain as much of a gross profit as a 45-64 year old who have more money invested in their primary home.

      The only ones I know who did have it good were the baby boomer generation, born during or after WW II. They seem to have a ride during the gravy train years in Canada. Retired with a good pension, bought homes at less than $40,000 and sold them for over $1 million, and live the good life. People in my generation (Gen-X) struggled and will not have it as good as the boomers did. I feel sorry for the Gen-Z and Millennials many of whom will never be able to afford a house.

      @@BunnyWatson-k1w I agree Gen X'ers will not have it as good as Boomers. However, I disagree with the notion Gen X'ers struggled. If u bought a house in the GTA before 2015, it was expensive but still affordable. U could buy it and pay it off within 15-30 years depending on ur diligence. And by buying a house early before the excessive surge of immigration, u would have a million dollar nest egg in 2024. I dont know the average cost of a house in GTA in 2024, but I bet it is a million plus. Wages have not gone up that significantly since 2015, but houses have gone up significantly. A million plus is not a price tag u can pay off that easily with current wages..
      U cant complain about and expect prices of homes to be the same as the 1940s (85 years ago). With time, everything gets more costly because of inflation. U have to be realistic with ur expectations. But what should be realistic are houses to be priced at an amount that one can eventually be paid off. These current prices are so inflated that the average everyday Joe has no chance to pay them off. And the worse part is these prices are not going to change anytime soon. There is just too much demand for housing and too little supply of housing for the prices to come down.

    Massive unsustainable immigration from lower wage developing nations like China, India, etc is the main cause for unaffordable housing and high rent, wage stagnation, increasing homelessness, and strain on schools, infrastructure, healthcare etc. not to mention high cost of food. It is striking how in my country - New Zealand we have had similar mass immigration and the same issues as a result!! It is also odd how the leaders of both countries tout high immigration as a positive thing for all yet we have both experienced financial strain and a lower quality of life compared to our parent's generation as we compete with migrants who are happy to work for less despite silly "minimum wage" rules, which can be easily avoided!!
    Half of all Canadians now have less than 5000 canadian dollars in savings!! In New Zealand half of Kiwis have less than 1000nzd in savings!! and Australia (which also has record migration from China, India, and Philippines ) also has half the population with less than 1000 aud in savings.
    It is obvious that mass immigration may benefit some employers but is harming everyone else !! Canadians ,New Zealanders and Australians need to stand up to their leaders and demand a slowdown in mass immigration!! If the cost of living is lower and there is a shortage of labor rather than an oversupply people will earn more because they are in demand . When this happens people are more likely to have children also because it is easier to do so!!
