Well our minimum wage I think is $8.00 now. Our gas is .94 Cents a L right now. Our utilities are very expensive last winter we were paying $600 a month, ouch. We are looking into building a house and it is $370 000 to build that includes our lot. If we were to build down in Lethbridge it would be half that, If we were to build in Edmonton it would be double that. So the closer we get to the US border the cheaper it is the further away the more expensive it gets. Your wage also changes where you are if you live somewhere very expensive you will make more. Does that make sence?
