You should be aware Scarborough is part of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

With after-tax income of $4,000 you will be able to rent but buying a house will prove impossible unless you already have $300,000 or more savings.

Here's a hypothetical monthly budget for an average family of four in Scarborough:

Housing & Utilities - $1,900 per month
Food & Supplies - $850 per month
Transportation - $300 per month
Entertainment & Leisure - $300 per month
Clothing - $150 per month
Savings - $200 per month
Other - $200 per month

Keep in mind these are very rough estimates and may or may not reflect your own family situation.
