If you can fund that, you should be OK. You may wish to examine your lifestyle, though. I don't think normal people spend as much on food and booze as they spend on rent. We do but we're not normal.
at the moment we spend a ridiculous sum on entertainment, dinner and liquor lol :wub: |
Re: Can You Get By In Toronto Earning Minimum Wage?
If you want to live on Minimum wage I would pick small cities that are far far north from TO. where house prices start at 30 grand. waiting is the only way to live in Toronto unskilled.
I've work as waiter I made around 40,000 pounds a year take home, I never got a job here tho. Nobody wanted me a male waiter. But one of my employees has a daughter who works part time for a big name restaurant. She makes 600 to 800 a week, part time working 3 days week. 1 normal shift and 2 are double shifts. :) In Ontario when you are a waiter you make what is called a server wage. its a buck less than the minimum wage of $8.50 so you make $7.50 an hour. If you are in a good restaurant and you can handle 10-20 tables you make good money. being a server is all about you. if you make crap money than your doing something wrong. :) |

As a comparison, heres the time it takes to buy a Big Mac (or equivalent) on minimum wage in US, UK, Canada and Cyprus:
Canada (Ontario)-22.23mins United Kingdom - 23.98mins United States (New York) - 29.75mins Cyprus - 45.77mins |

my figures are inflated though, i mean because we really intend on being around for twelve months or so (unless we did actually get a job in our career fields) we are living like semi-tourists instead of true expats.
