Hi I am a British expat moving with my wife and 2 month old daughter from Singapore to Toronto, well we are still deciding but unsure.
I hear Toronto is very expensive ? To get straight to the point - I will be earning CAN $115,00 per year...after doing some calculations on tax etc and looking at rent ( a 2 bed place 1000 sq ft , nothing fancy ) - it would seem that after tax we will be left with CAN$930 per week.
We dont have an extravagant life style, and rarely eat out - so this money would go on basic living, food, bills, and perhaps saving a bit....is this enough ? I hear groceries are expensive, and travel on public transport also....the last thing we want to do is move there and realise that we are tight on money.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we need to make a decision soon and we are a bit confused - internet research is helpful but actually getting help from you guys who live there is invaluable.
Thanks in advance for any help ....
