Dude you are all over the place.
>Average wage is well over $100k now
>My point was to show the house is priced about the same compared to the average income.
1) Wages != Income. Wages are a very small portion of the richest people's income. Their income is mostly interest, dividends, and capital gains. These are not wage cucks, and they can't skew the average wage like you think they are in your measurements.
2) Income and wages are correlated up to about $200,000; any income beyond that will come from sources other than wages. If you're making over $100,000 in income (still correlated at this point with wages), you are in the 85th percentile of all tax payers (not including NEETs), literally top 15 percent. We're talking American Brahmin here. Most working adults will never achieve that income level, even white collar jobs - you know, people who have TRADITIONALLY BOUGHT HOMES.
3) You're dumping half of "working able bodied adults" out of your metrics. I don't know what that's supposed to achieve or what kind of statistic you're trying to derive from this cherry picked data, but the end result doesn't appear to be useful in any context. And in any case, you should probably refrain from making sweeping statements like "Average wage is well over $100k now" given the extremely narrow context in which you're apparently deriving your stats. That's why everyone here is calling you a dumbass.
