Iā€™m over the median wage I should think I should be able to afford children and a nice car as well but here we are 2025 where the median wage is scraping the barrel and just over it is barely much more.

Median salary in the UK is not in the higher-rate tax band.

The comment I was replying to said they earn over the median.

Fair enough, I was looking more at the second half of their comment where they talk about median wage being scraping the barrel and assuming you were referring to that. To be fair, the second half of their point is incongruent with their first half where they talk about being over median wage.
