The average Canadian spends $63,000 per year to live. Well we certainly aren't the average Canadian. Those living in Manitoba (the average) spend quite a bit less.

I do wonder where they come up with these stats.

You wonder where they get there statics! I don't know of anybody that lives spends that much a year! I am on a very limited income so there is no way I could spend that much money, but I know several of my friends who do make alot of money per year and know they don't spend that much money per year. Sometimes these articles are not a true picture of the normal person.

Well we certainly don't fit those stats!

Interesting. I live in Saskatchewan and we don't even make what the average Canadian spends a year to live. I too am curious about where those statistics came from. My guess is we live off almost half that amount...and we're doing quite well thank you!
