Moving out of the big city for somewhere more affordable has become a common topic of conversation among Toronto millennials. Is it worth giving up the perks of the city for a lower cost of living and shorter commutes? We speak to a woman named Sydney who’s leaving the city she was born in in search of a lower-stress and less costly lifestyle.

Then we speak to money expert Jessica Moorhouse, host of the "More Money" podcast, about how to navigate this question and make the most of life in Toronto despite the rising costs of just about everything.

This episode was produced by Ghada Alsharif, Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Sean Pattendon, Kevin Sexton and Andrea Varsany.
