    are you planning on having kids? if not I would agree with above. But if you do that could change you situation (would put you from above average to middle of the pack). The combined income of my parents is over 300k/year but with 3 kids in our family I would not consider our family above average at all!

    you have GOT to be kidding right?......median income for a family of five in calgary is 70-80k per year. A 300k/year income would put them in the upper tax bracket and top 20% in canada.

    If those are Canadian dollars, you are fine.

    I pity the hockey players who locked in their contracts based on US dollars.

    I tend to agree with you .

    our asset is around 700k now. from this point of view, you think we are on the right track in mid 30's.

    Well at least your parents did a good job of not spoiling you... > 300k/year household income is VERY well off. Do you realize that after 5 years or less, your parents would have had over $1,000,000 flow into their bank account(s)? Some families won't ever touch that mark in their whole lives.

    As for the OP, you guys are doing well for yourselves... I'd even say top 10% in Calgary with your combined yearly income of 240k. No need to worry about keeping up with the Jones' for now.

    sorry to make you upset. I don't mean to it. I just want to know how it can lead us to a good retirement .

    we don't have a fancy car , take lunch to work most of time and always buy discounted stuff.

    this whole thread reeks of "I put my work ahead of everything in life, please show me respect, since I feel none towards my own self"

    Post your T4 along with your bank and investment statements just to verify what you are saying is true.

    Just want to make sure, since too many people make things up. If you can do that, I would say you are upper middle class.

    Op that's a quite impressive state to be in. How long have you two been in the industry? What did it take to be where you are at? Do you sacrifice much in terms of entertainment, travel, family etc? Those down payments are impressive: is it all saved up money or inheritance?

    It's not outrageous for a household to make 300k/year... but to consider yourself middle class... now that's what makes this suspect.
