Depends on where in the country. I used to live in the Bay Area where buying a house - even a starter house - was completely unattainable, even for those that make way above the median salary. I'm a software engineer that made a shitload of money off of the sale of a startup that I worked for, and I would have needed to make more than double my salary and buyout money to afford a starter house there. So I moved to a cheaper area.
