[Finances] Or, ZOMG, can I afford to do this?

Mikki Morrisette's book states that the average income for a choice mom is about 60 thousand dollars, though people with more and less are diving in as well.

This jives with Vancouver's current household average income of $67 090, as per 2010 statistics Canada. Household is defined as "Couple families, with or without children, and lone parent families." So if a choice mom is able to make about that, theoretically that would be "enough" to live on here in Vancouver.

But what if you have less? Is living here in our lovely Vancouver viable? I'll be doing a series of posts crunching the numbers around that over the next few months.
