Overpriced Housing
Buying a home will take a huge chunk out of your pay cheque for most of your working life. But where you live in Canada will determine how big that chunk will be and what kind of home you will have for your hard-earned pay. A four-bedroom detached home in the suburbs may cost you the same as a skunky condo in the city. Canada's worst city for home affordability: Vancouver, B.C.
