Making $26/hour working 40 hours a week, is renting an apartment alone in Oshawa realistic right now?
After taxes it works out to just over $1,600 after taxes every two weeks. I’m currently living at home rent free and able to put away about $2,000/month into my TFSA and FHSA while living off the rest, but I’m starting to feel like having my own space.
No kids, no debt. Just wondering if living alone in Oshawa is actually manageable on this income without being completely house poor.
Curious what people here are paying for rent/utilities and whether it feels comfortable or tight financially.
And feel free to be brutally honest if I’m being unrealistic here lol.
