“It feels like I’ve been working harder and harder and sliding backwards down the scale,” she says.

Making $50k in a small town and still "scraping by" is scary. Maybe I'm just old, but I'd hoped that kind of income would be enough for some kind of comfort.

It is not an available option to most Canadians, especially the vet tech in this article.

It's a shame that the article doesn't specify which town, but it does say University town.

If I were to guess, especially since she's a vet tech, is that she lives in Guelph or Windsor. Other vet universities in Ontario are in much larger cities.

If that's the case, she has quite a few of options for phone and internet.
