    Rarely drop comments but I have to. This is an immensely underrated channel! Your content is unique, helpful and tremendously relevant. The thought you put into coming up with useful content that goes beyond the cheesy captions seen elsewhere is palpable in all your videos. And your willingness to share otherwise “personal” info that could be beneficial to your audience is nothing but salutary. Thank you and well done!

      @aselvais I guess the lifestyle in general is quite different. I also remember living in Germany, my friend's parents had a spacious but simple house with a backyard, but drove a very old VW golf, bought quality second hand clothing (not just, but as part of their children's wardrobe). It wasn't that they couldn't afford buying expensive things all the time, I think, but it was just their way of life. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but back then in Germany people regularly used cash and debit card for purchases. Perhaps now things have also changed over there! While I use credit card most of the time now, I use it like a debit card.

    all quite interesting, you forgot one small detail though. A lot of the higher salaried jobs also come with huge annual bonuses. So for example, looking at the software engineer salaries, you're like, oh cool $130k is nice, whilst some studios are throwing 100, 150% annual bonuses on top and those wont be included in salary but will shift the earnings. Minor detail, but can dramatically shift some of the potential numbers around.

    • @LivinginCanada
      @LivinginCanada  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yup, you're right, that's why I emphasized 'base pay', the bonuses will vary based on a combination of company profits and individual performance. And yes, software engineering jobs and also finance jobs are known for super big bonuses and also stock options. Perhaps a topic for another time!

      @LivinginCanada  5 месяцев назад +8

      It’s not something to *worry* about, I agree. But understanding the landscape can be useful; people can switch to something else where pay and purpose aligns better, or find motivation that there are opportunities to earn more. Not necessarily for the sake of money itself but for what money can buy: more freedom and time.

    The salaries follow a log-normal distribution, but uniform at the top 1%. So average income isn’t informative at the top percentiles.
    Also the survey includes cap gains, which was at all time high in 2021.

      It's hard for everyone to save money. It's more difficult in the beginning, but once you've saved up your first 1k, then 10k becomes easier, and so on-it's a reinforcing effect, the more you save the more motivated you become to save more.

    The family physician number should just be physician. The specialty of family physician earns about 100,000 a year. This figure includes specialists like surgeons in its amount as well. A family physician as a specialty earns the least of any medical profession and spends 19 hours a week on administrative tasks everything from sick notes to chart update to dealing with insurance claims. Its one of the reasons that most medical students don't consider family physician as a speciality, ruclips.net/video/C-qsnDLdq68/видео.html&pp=ygUoc2hvcnRhZ2Ugb2YgZmFtaWx5IHBoeXNpY2lhbnMgaW4gY2FuIGFkYQ%3D%3D

    Rent, inflated gas and groceries are out of control. You also neglect to mention the inability to pivot careers without suffering significant hardship by taking out student loans (which could lead to more debt), or having to fulfill practicums that are unpaid. I myself work in childcare, but to take an ECE course to further my education and quality for a promotion, I would have to take $25,000 in loans, and work 3-4 months full time without pay. I cannot do that because I would not be able to pay rent (which is 65% of my income) or food.
