I guess $95,000 is enough for a single person but, our test lead in the house has a different take on it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>When asked by the interviewer about the sufficiency of her salary given the cost of living in Toronto, she mentioned that prices have significantly increased. \u201cA stick of butter was $4, now it&#8217;s $8. So inflation is very real,\u201d she said. She contrasted this with the situation in India, saying, \u201cIt does not hit you like that in India.\u201d She revealed that she rents a single room for $1,600, which is around Rs 99,000.<\/p>\n<p>The video has garnered various responses from viewers.

In summary it&#8217;s a journey..don&#8217;t expect to be set in 5yrs.\u201d Another commented, \u201c95k should be enough for one person! A lot of people are earning less than that in Toronto.\u201d A third user added, \u201cPurchasing power matters India\u2019s 30 lakh could be equivalent to 125k in the US.\u201d<br \/><!--\/include_growfast.cms?pagename=article&skipcss=1potime:2--><br \/>Another user provided a different perspective, stating, \u201cFYI some people might have a lot of responsibilities.
