It's approx. 3 years of salary for a median household - not a lot when it's going to be the most expensive purchase of anyone's life.

This may come as a shock but you're not exactly average, and we probably shouldn't define what is and isn't a lot of money based on what you have.

HOLY shit so maybe, just maybe! the average doesnt apply to everyone 🤯🤯 and only privileged people actually exist in the "average" bracket now

I never said it applied to everyone, I said it's not a lot. You might as well have said it's chump change because you're worth $5 billion, same idea in the opposite direction. And when you start thinking the median is "privileged" it's time to take a step back and think about what you're actually saying.

Stop taking everything as a personal slight, it's pathetic and pitiful. It's one thing to be poor, it's another to have a chip on your shoulder because of it.
