I don't know what country you live in, but in this country, the average salary is over $50,000/yr. That's ample to buy a house in most communities.
To put it another way, you are full of shit.
What country are you in that has an average salary of over $50,000/yr? I assume you are referring to National Account wages, not some other methodology that is known to overstate wages... And using NA methodology, *average* wages in the US are $42k. And why are you referring to average instead of median, which would be more appropriate, since salaries are not a normal distribution? US median wage, for only those 24-69 (the highest earning group, by the way), including only full-time workers, is under $40k.
$40k salary is not enough to afford an average home ($272,900 as per US Census data, 2011).
Speaking of "full of shit" -- if that applies to anyone in this discussion, that person is you.
