If $175k/year isn't enough for you, you are part of the problem.

So many people work harder for so much less, but you think you deserve more before them.

Just like how people richer than you operate.

Enough for what? They clearly stated that home ownership is out of reach for them.

Rest of their comparison is about things now vs things 10 years back and how it's worse for someone in their teens and 20s.

Learn to read.

Enough to stop you from complaining you don't have enough.

Their comparison is irrelevant.

You're just upset I'm criticizing people with too much wealth.

Is a home not under the constant annual threat of becoming unaffordable (I'm talking about renting, since you since seem to have reading comprehension difficulties) "too much" for someone to expect to achieve?

Jesus wept, if I earned HALF that I'd be very comfortable for the rest of my life. That's an insane income.

Imagine earning almost two hundred grand a year as a family and then suggesting it's a struggle. That's wild.

I mean sure, if you live in a gated wealthy community and only buy the finest things, and have very high wealthy standards, then I imagine that would seem like pocket change.

But 14,500 dollaroos a MONTH? That's enough to support multiple families. That's equivalent to SIX adults working a full time minimum wage job. SIX!

Imagine being two people, bringing in the wage of six people, and suggesting it's a tough life. I would kill to be in that highly privileged position haha.

I got like $60k a year as a programmer, and spun up my own company after a year of that. Like, how are you not able to save for a house / pay off a mortgage on 175k a year.

I struggled at $15 an hour living in a low cost area.

When rent is $2k a month, plus food and utilities, that money goes quiiiick
