For someone making $90k in San Francisco, a 1-bedroom apartment with a parking space is categorically off the table.

For someone making $45k in the Midwest, a 3-bedroom house with a 2-car garage in an excellent school district is expected.

If the 1%er moves to a lower cost of living area, he will not be a 1%er anymore.

But SF is an outlier for cost of living. And anyone in the U.S. can still buy a toaster for $25 no matter where you live etc.
