23 y/o F in Vancouver, I feel hopeless and lost

@jjp297 guess there's no hope here then... I didn't want to move to another city but Vancouver really is too costly, especially as a single income.

@kenneths At your income, there is no hope of buying unless you at least triple your income. You can rent but you will require roommate(s)

But it's your choice not to find a job and move to a lower cost city.

@jjp297 OP will need to triple their income and find a partner with the same income in order to live that 'comfortable lifestyle' in the lower mainland. I wouldn't bother living in YVR without 240k household if you're renting or have a mortgage.

@jjp297 Ideally I'd love a better paying job haha but from my job applying experience, I don't think a lot of employers want me.

@kenneths This is how it is for everyone starting out, don’t take it personally. I probably applied to 500 jobs in my early to mid twenties. It sucks, but that’s the game!
