I think you are asking all the wrong questions.

I worked in banking for 20+ years. Comparing yourself to others is pointless. Your lifestyle will vary and almost everyone lies when it comes to finances. People never tell you their entire financial picture.

I have seen single moms on 35k a year own their own home. I have seen no kids two income couples barely survive on 150k.

I agree these are the wrong questions. I think the right question is: if you purchased your first home in the past two years what was your path to home ownership?

In 1967 maybe.

This is the answer. It's not so much about what ur income is, rather how u manage ur income.
