My first job 25 years ago was out of college was 44k. I saved money then. I saved money BEFORE then. I saved more money with every raise. Focused on a reasonable housing (3,000 sq/ft for 254k, not quite 20 years ago), paid it off early. Still drive the same basic "class" of vehicles we always have.
My first job out of college was 42k, problem was I only graduated 5 years ago instead of 25. I think that's the problem. Wages have not increased requisite with costs of living. That's why we're seeing these issues so widespread.
