Doesn't explain how he affords to live in Calgary, at home with mom and dad?

He lives with parents and only pays for utilities, no rent, so he spends $1200 a month on flights instead of $2000 or $2500 on rent.

Yeah that's the only way I could see this working.

I'm surprised he makes it to class on time, my flights are rarely on time when I fly anymore.

Yeah, but calgary is way Cheaper than Vancouver even if he had to pay rent.
