Hi! Great video! Can I share the monthly Compass transit card with my wife if I'm with her?

I have been in New West for almost 2 years. I didn't own a car in my first year and had no trouble going to any place. The only con I would say is the hilly terrain. But you get used to it! The other con of "home-less-ness", I woudn't even consider a con. Just compare it to downtown Vancouver or any other neighbouring city, it is worse in those areas.

Vancouver is the 3rd largest city in Canada; Montreal is 2nd.

i went to vancouver 2 years ago, is just an overpriced average city, chicago is much more of a global city with half of the cost

Beaches lol - yeah OK for Canada I guess, but travel even a little and you realize those big cargo ships in the distance with the cruise ships dumping RAW SEWAGE that floats to the shores: NO THANKS. You can't compare us to Hawaii, DM, Caribbean, even FLA and TEX

I can buy a 3 bedroom townhouse in Surry for 300k while a 1 bedroom condo 15 minutes away in Coquitlam is 700k. This is because Surry is full of crime, drugs and gangs. No one wants to live there. Oh and a special mention to the homophobia and homelessness.

Vancouver is expensive but it's also easy to earn 100k per year also. Even some uber drivers make this much

Reality check as at January 1, 2025- READ CLOSELY. People are paying $1200 rent for a CLOSET and paying to share a BED...not a room...a BED! And if you think that the Residential Tenancy Branch will help you out when a roommate takes your rent $$$ and changes the locks, replaces you with a roomier paying more and sells or disposes of your belongings, think again. The Residential Tenancy Act of BC, will protect NO tenant - even one who "thinks" they have a valid lease - if they are sharing accommodations, namely a kitchen or bathroom with the owner of said accommodation. Furthermore if sharing with one who is renting, your name MUST appear on the principal tenancy lease between the tenant(s) and landlord or their representative. I volunteered at an organization that "attemts" to help the zillions of tenants being exploited and abused by greedy individuals with absolutely zero morals. Unfortunately by then, you've lost your security deposit, your rent money is gone and chances are there will be no BED available at any of the shelters overwhelmed daily - more so now - and it will only be getting worse. Civil litigation in small claims court is your last and only option - good luck with that. Vancouver is a souless city, devoid of social accountability, humanity, or warmth & kindness. And BE FOREWARNED- if you have a beloved dog, your chances of finding any accommodations are nonexistent. Cats are barely "tolerated" and supplementary pet deposits are required; not to mention that depending on budget, available accommodations are slashed by up to 95%. I hope you don't believe me and look into this for yourself. I have seen individuals completely traumatized by ongoing housing injustice. One long-time tenant and elderly client in a wheelchair, received a " Notice of Eviction for Landlord use"; the landlord claimed her suite was intended for a " relative coming from china ". She could not find suitable lodging on her budget and wound up homeless, on the street. She chose to commit a crime, in order to be arrested and find a roof over her head. It was later found the landlord had LIED and had rented the unit out for $400 more than that poor woman was paying. We helped her file with the Residential Tenancy Branch against the landlord and she LOST. The RTB is another of the most amoral, unjust, inhumane & corrupt part of the BC govt. Be forewarned and good luck.

your spending is bad but considering you dont drink, smoke it averages out

Oo. Gusto Kong lumipat Sa surrey Balang araw. Salamat Sa video Nito, ngayon Alam ko na kung anong dapat isaalang-alang kapag lumipat Sa surrey, dahil Ang video na ito ay lubhang kapakipaki na bang para Sa MGA people na Hindi gaanong Alam tungkol Sa surrey at nails na lumipat Dito, Tama ba? Ako ay Isang estudyante mula SA Pillipinas. 🎉😮😅 Grabe Yung city, Tangina!😮😂

I want to move to Vancouver! But I know nothing about it or no one!

8:20 "Even a bottle of water is kinda expensive." Very good observation.

My BC TEL land line phone cost $6 a month in the 80's. The government sold this public utility, a basic necessity that we all funded, to private enterprise to continually price gouge, making it one of the most expensive utilities in the world.

Forgot to mention the most important thing that don’t have police sheriffs since 1982…

God living there seems extremely unaffordable

Tuban city sucks 😊

7.51 toronto girls swiftly flew past behind.. lol... another good content... many thanks

Myself and my partner moved here about a year ago, been in Sapperton/New West since, absolutely love it here.

Sofia is a daddysitter.

36? Professor looks 56.

I love these videos because I just moved to Vancouver 4.5 months ago. Just have to say, for the part-time babysitter to make that much...the math isn't mathing.

You were gassing up one car and yet getting into a Tesla later in the video.

Surrey has great food !

moved hate it!

Lol awesome vid..at some point ya gotta ask yourself why am I here...??? To go hiking??

He would have saved so much on gas if it was an electric vehicle

I noticed price of condos in new west are a bit lower, I wonder why… is it because they are usually older units and poorer neighbourhoods than in Burnaby and Coquitlam?

I love your video, and I still wonder why your channel only has 1k subs :( you deserve way more attention! I'm planning to move there soon, and hopefully, I can get a part-time job to support my studies.

Deport them all

to live in Vancouver you should take home $1 million a month and then you will be sort of OK✅💰🔥🤑👻

15$ for 5 sushis 🤯

You notice one thing that you upload videos everyday your video quality is good but your videos are not getting any views. This is a very big problem. Are you trying to solve this problem?

You are right. I lived there for a long time and it was a wonderful place to live. As you mentioned gang violence was ever present in the entire metro Vancouver area since 90s. And mind you most of these gangsters aren’t even immigrants, but local born and raised middle class immigrant kids who grew up in the 90s. But the news and ignorant people tend to blame recent immigrants for it. I remember chinatowns around the world used to have similar connotations attached to them before and similar gangster like communities emerged from them and were active until 2010s. However, uninformed public will always use their preconceived notions to spread notoriety for a specific group to never stand for self reflection. For example, they never seem to ask why did middle class immigrants raise kids who ended up going the ways they went in the 90s and 00s? It’s a very bizarre to keep blaming outsiders who have nothing to do with it and are often more astonished and shocked by the situation.

Why do vancouvers houses look like that? They are truely ugly.

Thanks for sharing! Damn, so I did some calculations. To live this lifestyle and not save a cent. One has to earn $70K a year minimum for your lifestyle. The recommended living wage in Vancouver is supposed to be $60K. How things have changed. The average Canadian earns about under $64,000. For sure the expense is mostly on energy, food and housing. 25 ish this year eh? It honestly wasn't that bad when I first started out working. People got by with $45k or $50k.

lol surrey is not in canada, it's in india

The reason Vancouver realistate is so expensive is because of foreign money being laundered in the market. The reason cost of everything is so high in Canada. IS because are government is printing money out of thin air then spending like a drunken sailor. The more money int he supply chain the less its worth. Meaning the higher your wages have to go to keep up. This is inflation more money printed = less the moneys worth. That's why in 2010 my brother bought a townhouse in Abbotsford for 182k We bought in 2019 the same town house in Abbotsford for 382k in the same complex. We sold the place in 2021 for 505k. Explain to me how in 11 years the price went from 182k to 505k for a 1975 townhouse ?

This is really helpful! It's a great reminder to revisit our spending habits and identify the hidden areas where our money is slipping away without us even realizing it. Thanks for documenting!

Was there for 10days I spent $1500 +hotel + flight +food+drinks+best times 😂🎉❤+25 miles day walking.Love Vancouver . Cant wait to go back. People are so nice.

How do people save up for a starter residence in Vancouver. I can see a typical person saving only $15K a year after RRSP contributions

Wow - that’s a lot for just one week !! You should track how much you spend on a month. Appreciate how realistic it is though. I don’t spend that myself in a week for me that’s a month’s spend. I don’t eat out at all !! I’m lucky to eat out once a month. I drink my coffee at home and once in a while I’ll treat myself to SB or Tim’s.

my cost of living is half of yours atm. it went up a bit cause i took on doordash and getting gas more.

very cool video. dont feel bad about eating out once at least your not wasting money on delivery. also is 75 on a phone plan necessary? i find i never go through more than 20-30 gb and at that range a fido plan is like 40$

I just came from there from a 2 month vacation...really expensive city...especially compared to Japan.

Grew up in the mainland. Went from 1400 for a whole 2000sqft house in the mid 90s to 2000 for 800sqft basement. Wages just havnt kept up unfortunately. Its definitely become a place that almost requires roommates or a so to live with just to split the cost of housing. This is the biggest factor for why we've seen the largest exodus from bc. Mainly moving to Alberta, USA or overseas, in that order. Making bout 80k/yr and finding it more difficult to save for future and/or vacations. Great video explaining the costs around here for anyone who is looking to move here. Though New West is a little more expensive area over Coquitlam, or Delta. Both neighboring cities. You wont really notice a good savings until you get out to Langley or Ridge

Interesting how you're exactly the type of person to complain about the cost of living here, but you're eating out mutliple times a week. Maybe try cooking 7 days a week and see how much money you save. Sunday you had work cancelled? Then how about you go mow some lawns or do any extra work instead of going to the beach the entire day. People just complain about the cost here but don't take any opportunity to actually make a living.
