Where I live a single family home starts at 1.3 million and townhouses are 1.2 CAD, in a town of 20,000 45 minutes from a major city.

$150 an hour is a charge out rate for a professional engineer not in programming or IT, and trades are closer to $100. $150/hr on salary you probably are in business consulting with a phd and charge out at $400/hr.

$9k usd/mo after paying taxes and for housing is not something that’s readily available here, I don’t think even in IT.

I was being generous to the poster, but also I was assuming hourly was not salary but rather a contract/freelance rate.
