How many people earn 100k in Australia?

Okay, here’s a more personal and natural take on the info:

So, how many people in Australia actually crack that $100k mark? Well, apparently, it’s only around 10% of the population! Wow, seriously? That kinda hit me harder than I thought it would. I mean, you hear about people earning good money, but to think only one in ten Aussies are pulling in six figures… it makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

It makes you really think about the cost of living these days, especially with rent and everything going up. How are the other 90% really making ends meet? I know I’m constantly watching my budget, and I’m doing alright, but still… it feels like $100k is this huge milestone, almost unattainable for so many people. That’s a bit depressing, actually.

I’m hoping to reach that level someday, fingers crossed! But honestly, seeing that statistic also makes me worry about income inequality in Australia. Is it getting wider? Are opportunities really there for everyone? I remember my cousin, Sarah, she worked so hard at her retail job for years, always going the extra mile, but she was barely scraping by. It’s just… it’s tough out there. Maybe that 10% figure is a wake-up call, you know? Something to make us think about what’s fair and what’s not.
