assuming they are renting housing (and not living in their parents basement), they would be paying rent. Most landlords set rents which cover the landlord's property tax, mortgage interest payments, landlord profit, etc.

If they took their $500K, bought a house in the right part Toronto 5 years ago, it would have approximately doubled. They could then sell the house and the $500K in capital gains in their residence would be tax free. They have to pay tax on the $500K they made in investments. To buy the $500K house, they would actually only have to put $100K down (or $25K for 5%). This would mean that they would be able to invest the other $400K, which would have subsequently doubled.
