Its better in other countries.
The Euro fucked Germans up like crazy
Also yeah 2017 but its not that much better now

You are not fucking suffering, a street sweeper makes more than a doctor, engineer or software developer here in Europe.

Europeans maybe DREAM of saving up 500k at the end of their lives. If you have a really high end job and make 60k here (35k net), if you live frugally and invest, you may even get there, but that's it.
Meanwhile an American software engineer makes that in a year.

>above median income,
Look at median wealth (including real-estate). Cars are usually not owned by those driving them.
Also a used RS isn't a terribly bad choice for an Audi if it's already slightly older, depreciation is brutal when new, but not absolutely terrible once the initial hit was taken by someone else.
New cars only make sense when you run a business and can write-off the depreciation.

median is not inflated by the mega wealethy, but 'household' income depends on the size of the household, and also is a rather useless measure of wealth for similar reasons GDP is.

if in economy A all people providing services charge each other 2 times higher than in economy B, the median income (and roughly the GDP) of people in economy A will be 2 times higher than in economy B if they have the exact same wealth.

the more consumption oriented an economy is, the more income is skewed higher in comparison to wealth.

not saying higher consumption doesn't normally result in higher wealth too, but very often it's just waste.

median WEALTH per person shows a much more accurate picture of the actual wealth of a society, than median income per household does.
