For a lot of people this isn't possible. You won't find a liveable home in my country for under 600k.


Sounds like any major city in Canada.

Maybe Edmonton, and in not great parts. The parts that give it the reputation as "Stabmonton".

Rural is a different story -- seen some damn nice places for $300-400k CAD -- but rural Canada has its own challenges.


For sure but that would mean saving for it is even more impossible.


I'm curious what country that is. Monaco?

How are housing prices in the neighbouring countries?


New Zealand.


That doesn’t leave you with a lot of neighboring countries.

When you said 600K, did you mean NZ dollars or US dollars? If the former that would be about 360K USD.

On a median NZ income of NZ60K per year, that’s indeed rough.

Top 3 worst affordable according to claude.ai, behind Hong Kong and South Korea. The most affordable housing countries are USA, Germany and Ireland


And salaries are likely not 150k either
