I believe you are correct with it being possible on a median wage (with a great deal of scrimping and saving at that level for a decent period of time) but half of people make much less than that. So it isn't really possible for 150 million Americans or so.

It'd be a lot more feasible if they didn't have to pay enormous and unpredictable health insurance premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, uncovered costs, etc.
