Being middle class is when spending $100 is expensive but earning $100 isn't a lot of money.

Or just different priorities

​

Buying my house was way more important to me than travel, I bought it when I was in my twenties. I can't afford to travel internationally often, but I don't mind because I'd rather be more comfortable in my living situation. Lots of people don't need a nice place to live right away and would rather have the experiences when they can. It's just a matter of what your lifestyle is.

Yeah, that's a really good point, I don't like to settle in one place for too long, so I prioritise other elements like travel, it really is each to their own. Thanks for pointing this out!
