There's a certain segment of people with a smug self superiority that think because they earn six figures in places like Seattle or San Francisco that the simple forklift driver in bumfuck, WI has even less chance of buying a home than they have.
They couldn't be more wrong.
While the forklift driver is slowly saving 10k a year for a 150k house, the SF bro is saving 50k a year for a similar house for $1M. Guess who gets to the target first.
