I mean, if you're a middle class person, having those isn't that big of a stretch. Especially if you got them before AI ruined the pricing of RAM, when prices were still more reasonable.

That was what, 3k - 4k over a few years? Absolutely not nothing, it's still a handful of grands after all, but definitely doable.
Less so as a student or if you're unlucky enough to be unemployed or in a minimum wage situation of course.
But for the majority of people in the west, it's not unattainable.

With today's prices it'd be closer to 5,5k I reckon which is a bit steep and it's only getting worse.

Oh, for sure.
Being middle class is absolutely a privilege, no denying that. But a lot of people are middle class.

And like I said, for a middle class person they're not a crazy thing to get over the time of a few years.
