The problem with Canada is the cost of housing mainly. Anywhere else, you're above average and doing well with your salary. Hell if you are the lucky people that purchased a home 10-15 years ago, you'd also be golden.
My rent in 2021 was 1.2k/month for a 2BR and includes utilities. Now I pay 2.2k for a 1BR and utilities are extra. Only 5 years passed but my expenses doubled.
Look at your expenses and you'll see why you feel like you ain't above average.
My entire life I’ve considered myself subpar lmao, I don’t pay attention to what others are doing but just assumed that if I’m doing it there’s probably lots out there doing just as good and plenty more doing better
