270K is not living large these days if you have a detached house, multiple vehicles, and multiple kids with child care costs. It's comfortable, but it's not like you're eating dinners out all of the time or taking vacations with airplanes multiple times of the year.

At least your “safe”
What you’re saying though even that’s a pretty big stretch and clearly you’re not living within your means even with 2 kids if you’re making 270k a year.
You’re living a lifestyle that isn’t aligning with reality. And again, underlines the shitty unaffordability situation in Vancouver/Canada.
As per the above post, you’re in the top 2% of earners in Canada and you can’t take a fucking vacation? This whole discussion underlined exactly what I’ve been talking about.
The median income in Canada is $68,000
Rent for a 1br is $2900 x 12 =$34,800.00
Half your earnings going to living expenses before anything else. And you don’t think people in Canada are living miserable fucking lives? Lol
