80k single income with apartment and a car, you are probably breaking even. 80K income would get you a mortgage 300K which translates to an older apartment (that's assuming you have been saving since you were a fetus for a down payment. If you insists on traveling on vacation + a car.. yup, 80k means you're barely breaking even.

With a salary of 80K, getting into the real estate market today is tough without some sort of loan/help from family. However, no one says that you have to buy as you could easily rent something half-decent in a near suburb like Burnaby or Richmond and invest the rest. Or, if you're making 80K now, you would have been making say 40-50K 6-8 years ago and could have gotten in the market then and rode the wave (I know people who did this and ended up with multiple properties.)

3) 100k income for girls.
I am unsure but I've dated a few girls but it's extremely rare for a girl to earn an 80k income. Nurses are probably one of the few with good income due to overtime and all but if someone can chime in who knows any semi-ambitious girls who are earning a decent income, I would love it hear it.

Health care is a woman's meal ticket. I know of several people in various health care professions and I'm fairly certain they're banking 70-80K (if Facebook albums, condos, etc. are an accurate barometer.) A colleague of mine who's a little over 30 happens to be in the Vancouver Sun's database of public sector high income earners.
