It's kind of ironic the concept of a whole generation considering success as being part of the 1% and still being optimistic about it. By definition, 99% of them won't be successful.
To be fair though, in places like Sydney, the 1% are buying most of the houses, having most of the good experiences, and living a very much better quality of life. You could be in the 90th percentile and still not afford any better than ‘house 90 minutes commute away’ thanks to $1.6m median prices.
I am very much an upper income earner and yet I could not afford any ‘average’ house in any suburb I’d actually want to live in.
