Easily budgeted for though - don't buy a house you can't afford the property tax for. It's not a hidden cost.

People always mention chicken, I had a look at a stores online delivery website and it said $9.99 for three chicken breast fillets. XE makes that £6.13 today, and you are lucky to get chicken (same pack size etc) for that here now, and what you get is bland homogenised and stuffed full of chemicals. The above claimed to be organic!
Also altho the monthly plans may be higher and it will take a while to get used to paying for receiving a call the cost of a new iPhone is radically cheaper in canada. The model I'm looking at is over £100 cheaper, and that's buying from
an apple store! Im holding out for the 5 tho, once they fix the bugs it will invariably have .
Im not actually there yet, and I may change my tune, but we would be happier paying more as dh will be earning more, I've run the numbers and our income and expenditure may even be lower in Canada, even with three kids. Percentage of wage required to maintain current standard of living is higher based on my research, but only by 2%. worth that to live in Canada.
