It is a comfortable salary for now but hope it doubles in the next 5 years then you will have some breathing room and some savings.

Guys,
I did not mean to say that Punjabi folks there in Malton are indecent but that there is a significant population there of a continent there who are a bit vulgur, violent etc... Malton is not the Vancouver of the GTA.
I know of many instances where people who left their children in publically funded daycares came back knowing many bad words and that is what I was trying to convey. However, I am sure that there will be many home daycare providers there who will be selective in taking children under their care. A friend advised me not to settle in Malton since there was always a lot of negetivity among the Indian immigrants (new comers) in that area. Since there are a lot of factories there, many are factory labourers.
I am sure that once the OP gives the exact location of his company, we can give him some solid location to stay.
Pharma was good in the GTA but I am not sure of the current conditions.
Hope this helps the OP and clarifies many doubts.
Peace by TK

Could you please edit your post as we have about 8 - 10 Panjabi MPs in this country. (:-))
May be that's the reason it's tricking Mr. tamil
I have seen many recent post of his against Mumbaikars, Gujjus & now its Punjabis. I think he has very good problems with this people (or should I say with whole Indian community except people who speak very good english or are Tamils or people who always keep on crying for the price of eggs in the market )
Anyways as Coolgirls suggest "just ignore"
To the OP
I think its a good salary to start with but as Loser suggested you might want to move ahead within couple of years.
Also your spouse can get some good job down the road & we wish you best of luck for your future. You can even try absorbing your wife in your own company after some time, as your reference would be very helpfull to her & most companies here prefer to employ person with a good reference to the company.

I dont think what TK is trying to convey is wrong..IT IS true, Malton neighbourhoods are not ideal to bring up kids. We always try to be politically correct and avoid saying thing that are indeed true.
it is not about punjabis or gujratis or marathis..it is about the community and the people in the community!!
