  He said half-decent and modest. If you are implying they are far more expensive then it's you that's out of touch. The average car on the road is 13 years old. A half decent one can certainly be had for $6000. A modest kitchen renovation, for $6K, certainly. I wouldn't even call that modest.

Assuming 50 SQ ft of counter space that's $2K. $2K of paint, cabinet work and ~$2k for new appliances would be much more than a modest renovation for most people. As this article is stating, most people, the majority, do not even have THAT amount.
