Yeah, that rent is incredibly low for Toronto. But also, 1800 for all utilities, potential medicine, transportation,… does not get you too far.

My wife and I do shopping for a full week at Farm Boy (not the cheapest) and this runs to about $300 for a week of food. Does not include other things such as detergent, toilet paper, etc..

you're talking about expenses that are like $5 there and $10 there

$1800 for everything shouldn't be starving

Where do you live that utilities, public transport, and niche medical expenses are $5 here and there?
