这不是好事儿吗，都像中国人一样把钱存起来不花，全靠国家资金拉动经济。

They are probably proud homeowners with a hefty mortgage to pay. Gov should enact law to prohibit people from buying a home if they have to use 60% and above of their income for home related costs.

Don't remember the exact data, but it seems most homeowners in Toronto and Vancouver have to use a whopping 90% of their income to handle home-related costs.

Living in a multiple million worth home, but have to share a cottage with several other same proud home owners on vacation. What the heck!

The only time they can be relieved is the time they die! People should just live where they belong. They should not stretch their wallet too much for merely the proud feeling, "I am a proud home owner."

The human dignity is I live like a human, not a slave of any sort.

好像看过报道，美国大部分房贷都是30年定期的，所以美国不一定是这个原因，加拿大很可能有这个原因

不符合市场经济规律。没有可行性，低利率时符合规定，利率一涨，情况就变了。

冒险的人会受到市场的教育。出清机制是市场经济的必然。

Yes 美国大部分房贷都是30年定期的, but it's probably the same culprit (owning a home with mortgage). There is no other thing that would consume most of those six-figure salaries if not for home-related costs.

北美大部分人（不含华人）都是被刺激消费，有多少收入花多少钱，大房子大车，一旦经济危机或者通胀高于工资涨幅，入不支出是大概率，所以paycheck to paycheck跟收入多少关系不大，跟消费习惯和收入赶不上通胀关系很大，这也是为什么通胀在西方是大问题。
所以虽然房贷不是直接原因，但是以前把弓拉满了，买大房子，现在收入赶不上通胀就会出问题。

常识中 6-figure income到底是指十万级还是百万级呢？
如果像CNBC文中所说的10万级人士，每月工资用光不是很正常吗？

您这是杞人忧天啊。
米国人大块吃肉，大碗喝酒，住大耗子，开大卡车，…爽的很！

哪像我索，勒紧裤腰带住瑞鸡，为了还贷招一房客，吃个满大人算计半天，买个电脑要等黑五，…
