You leave the country ever? Travel? Own your apartment/house? Kids college paid for? Got 50k in savings in case you have a medical emergency and can’t work for a year? At the very least a Rainy day fund of 3 months salary? Retirement saved for? Able to enjoy yourself?

50k in savings doesn’t make you elite?

Median savings is around $6k for all ages. You’re acting elite right now

I can’t believe the pushback I’m getting for folks to be paid more. Not everyone wants to sit at home with no kids and do nothing.

I don’t understand how those two things relate

Paying people a wage where they’re not living hand to mouth and can actually own property wasnt a crazy idea 30 years ago. Now it is. You claim that’s being elite. I claim that as being normal. Feel bad for you a bit.

Also. No kids being the large factor. If you wanted kids you couldn’t do that on 75k a year. You’re not taking them on vacations multiple times of the year. Can’t force that on others.

I also doubt you own a home with zero help. If you do good for you. But you can get a home in NYC on 75k a year.
