    Here in Canada I’d suspect the number is fairly quite low if we’re talking independently. Cost of everything is high and wages are comparatively low for the most part. Maybe once you look at ages 45 and up its less bad but 30-45 probably less than 50%

      A lot of those 45+ are in two-earner households. They might be ok independent of each other, but not at the same level. Then the whole retiree population…is someone on social security ‘financially supporting themself?’
