It can easily cost $2000/month to live in Metro Vancouver. If you take home around 2500-3000/month net, what's left to invest?

Buying a home requires sacrifice, there's no doubt about that, but how much should people sacrifice?

Exactly. Lower than average salaries with higher than average cost of living. Something will give eventually.
