Completely reasonable. For me, my career as a chef absolutely hinges on living basically either here, Toronto, Montreal or Quebec city so I'm a bit bound. I'd rather quit what I do and start all over than move to Toronto, and the other two cities while amazing just don't have the landscape or climate I love. It was a hard few years to get in a position where I(we) feel even sort of comfortable financially here, and while money isn't everything, if you are always stressed about money its impossible to be really content. Vancouver is a beautiful city, but for most people it really isn't "worth it."
