Can anyone one of you give a reasonable reason for that?
I think most CFC members belong to the other 70 %.
What percentage of CFC members are MORTGAGE free (i.e. already paid off your first mortgage, I am not talking about those for investment).
CFC members are really well off.

I can hardly make ends meet.

btw, does "no mortgage at all" count as "mortgage free"?

The reason why 30% of CDN households live paycheque to paycheque? Simply because they are only that rich.

I've never bought a house, so I've had no mortgage at all.

me in 30%。 上个月支票帐户只有400多元，老婆按摩要现金取了80我没注意，过了2天自动付地税(我家地税都是月付，一次付几千刀是拿不出来的)，一下子 Overdraft了，发现后赶紧各处搜搜补上80元，但是已经晚了，RBC Royal Bank charge 我$5 Overdraft fee + $0.04 Overdraft interest

俺发现很多当地老外从小就没有存钱的习惯。俺孩子的同学经常管俺孩子借钱，一次三块五块，有时还，有时不还。他父母离异，每周见他爹时都得到$50 零花钱，一个月二百刀呢。他能花得精光，还需要借钱。

俺家孩子把从小得到的压岁钱都存起来，爹妈缺现金时他就借贷，还要求百分之十的利息呢，比银行都黑。

In average, you are absolutely right. If everyone is making decent money, where do I order a large 3 topping pizza for $16 and with free delivery?
