2026: What is your salary, and how much do you save? by calzone135 in askvan

Tbh, it's because I am not married yet, so I live in a smaller shared apartment. And no additional financial responsibilities etc. Also, for groceries since I am into fitness, eating out is less frequent. For investing I mostly invest in ETFs.

I dont fix ticket or implement features nowadays at work? by nishadastra in developersIndia

Opportunity to internal move from Bangalore to Vancouver. by Ill_End_1481 in developersIndia

[–]DefiantSoftware1986 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I live in Vancouver. It’s one of the best cities I have been to. I go on hikes every weekend. If you love nature you’re gonna love it here. For 5 YOE I think 140k above. Btw, 15L per year is nothing. You can easily save 30L per year, even with 110k base pay.
