I don't think the parent post was punching down on working class people, but rather making the point that if housing is unaffordable for even someone with a 300k household income, it is truly catastrophic for people on the average wage.
- angarg12 4y agoThank you for this comment, in case someone misunderstood my original post. I'm from a working class family myself. My parents were factory workers, and they managed to buy a new 4 bed apartment in a new part of town and raise 3 children. And yet I don't feel I'm doing materially better than my parents at my age. I definitely don't feel upper middle class even if my income suggest so. As you point out I can't imagine how people with more average incomes get by.
