I think some people want too much.
80k, you are still taxed to around 60k.
So even with 60k, you should be somewhat comfortable.
I think the poverty line is 36k?
Yes, it's largely an expectation that 25 y/o have - "I went to school, I got a job, now I should be able to buy a house, car, doggy daycare, 2x daily coffee, doordash every dinner, etc..."
The world is not fair.
But it is easier than ever to get to the top %.
There is no competition.
