anyone else find it hilarious that most jobs pay poverty wages in Vancouver?

absolutely hilarious, i just pissed myself

Have you checked the housing prices in Vancouver.  It is insane. Construction workers could never afford the houses they build.

If your statement were true it truly would be tragic but why you find it "'hilarious" would cause me more concern !!  For years I have heard the comment that I'm lucky to own a home but then I work hard , save my money, buy within my means, don't go to mexico etc. every year nor do I have a $65,000.00 dollar leased pickup or Infiniti/ I had a 10 year old Honda Civic. I don't own or lease a $80,000.00 ski boat but then maybe, just maybe you might think I have my priorities wrong. Did I also say that I pack my own lunch and thermos of coffee or should I buy my starbucks and lunch everyday.   

You find people unable to afford homes hilarious? I pity anyone who dates you.

No

That's especially funny

That's not hilarious.

that's not the end of it all, if you learn that infflastiin make you think you make more money, when I had more buying power in the 80s at - 3 .10hr

Narrated `Aisha:

A man said to the Prophet, "My mother died suddenly, and I think that if she could speak, she would have given in charity. May I give in charity on her behalf?" He said, "Yes! Give in charity on her behalf."
