But try not to spend it all. With that kind of income, sensible spending and smart investing, you have a potential to really build substantial wealth for yourself for the future. You may wish to consult books like The Wealthy Barber or The Millionaire Next Door.

I have no idea what living in Montreal is like, so all I can say is, I don't know if 90K is good, bad, or in between.
My advice is to listen to s_lone. He/she lives there.

I guess this isn't the place to preach, but questions like that about $90,000 income does naturally get one to wondering. Is it an exorbitant life style or is there a lot of waste? More important than the amount of your income is how you spend it.

JLM, when I was young, (as referred to in my previous post) I used to spend about 90% of my money for women and booze. The rest I spent foolishly.

Johnny gloated without using his brain, trying to be funny:
"haha you payed for sex"
I found that taking ladies to expensive dinners, to concerts, to movies or buying them gifts, cocktails and flowers - regrettably - not always ended up with receiving sexual favours.

Anyone who tells you they are not paying for sex is lying. (or they have a really stupid partner)

For 90g a year I would consider going back to camp. Not too sure about going to a city though.
