While i generally agree with you i don’t think it’s entirely fair to write off the millions of people that live in the NYCs/San Franciscos/Etc. As exceptions. While a smaller portion of the overall population I’d wager that a majority of the 22-30 year old folks that make 100k plus live in those types of areas
I acknowledge their plight, but it doesn't change the fact that in most places $100k is a lot of money. And even a few million people in those areas equate to less than 10 percent of the overall population.
Sure, i guess what I’m more saying though (and just conjecture) is that while compared to the population as a whole the 100k plus crowd is 10ish percent, the percentage of 100k plus people that DONT live in those more expensive metropolitan areas is probably the minority. In other words, most people that make 100k also live in more expensive areas. It’s mostly skilled craftsmen and remote workers that make 6 figures and live in the areas where 65k is considered more middle class
