I know this may be difficult for you to understand, but a whole lot of people lost their jobs during Covid, and had even less to spend. That is why it was relatively easy for those with money to buy housing.

Saving isn't an option when your entire wage is spent before you make it, just to exist. Or when you aren't allowed to work because of external circumstances.
