    Who in those income brackets can afford their house, car, and vacations?

    600k for a rural house, 5% mortgage is 30k

    1.5m in urban, 5% mortgage is 75k

    Car is 20-40k

    Food is 16k/year

    30+20+16= 66 out of 70 but you aren’t buying a new car every year

    So let’s say you’re spending 1.8/L on it and going 20 000km per year. CX-5 is 8.2L per 100

    I believe that’s 1640L so an expense of 2952

    Our number then is 30+2.952+16 for simplicity we will just say 49

    So we have 21k left, for heating I found it cost 3840, again round up to 4 so we have 17k

    I know what you’re thinking what about tax?

    Property tax we will go cheap with 1% because we rounded the other things up. 6k

    Now we have 11k

    Income tax?

    Thats 12 333 but we will round down to 12k

    We are now -1k

    Yearly vacation that you take if you’re middle class? Let’s say 5k

    We are now -6k

    there are more expenses of course but you get the idea
