+1 to give parent commenter some perspective someone is looking at ~$1200USD a month just to share a bedroom with someone else, closer to double that just to have a private room in a shared home. Approaching $4k to have a place to yourself.

Most of my friends pay $1500-$1800 for a bedroom in an apartment. Those paying $2400 all have 1BD or studios.

Check Zillow for prices.

I am currently living in a gigantic 3BD for $5200.

It's context that I had, but is easily forgotten, especially with the .ca TLD. There's taxes and student debt to service as well—probably.
