It's all about what you want to do with your life and what you studied/ spent time on.
If you were a receptionist for 4 years during university studying arts, can easily land a federal admin assistant job and make 50k a year.

Feels bad making less than those assistants. But at the end of the day, those jobs cap out at $50k a year with little to no room for growth in skills or salary advancement. Which is why I think $20-25/hour is a reasonable salary for those jobs.

I think "good" money depends on how fortunate you are in this city. If you're someone who's able to live at home then you're already saving roughly $24,000 after-taxes a year in rent if you were to move into a 1br condo. Which would make a $40 - 70,000 salary pretty comfortable. Your expenses are going to be super low so you'll hopefully have a high savings rate as well.$
In another scenario, you could be someone who has moved here from interior B.C. for school and there aren't any good job opportunities in your small town. Then you'll likely need a salary of $80 - 120k a year to comfortably afford rent, save for a$downpayment, save for a future kid, entertainment.$
