US tech wages are what everyone should be making. Tech looks high compared to everyone else, but it is more that everyone else's wages got suppressed.

Where do you draw the line? Maybe everyone should be earning $10M/year like AI researchers, and anything to the contrary means it's "suppressed"?

You can own a house and support a family of 5 on a single income and retire at 65.

Where I live that is only really possible for SWE, lawyers, doctors, and execs.
