Median is a type of average, tbh both mean and median wages are plenty in most developed countries - if you actually get that much. Which half or more than half of people don’t get, depending on which one you are using.
I also live in the UK and bought a house on minimum wage. Cheaper part of the south east but still costs a bit more than where I grew up in the south west.

Renting a bedroom, after rent I didn’t really spend much else, food was only like £10-15 a week, was saving £5-10k a year.

20 years of that would pretty much buy an entire house, not just a deposit. Not sure how it’s having no life either.

Cars cost a shitload, so I didn’t get one and just walk/cycled to work. Spent that money on rounds at spoons instead.
Also plenty of flats for less if you are buying on your own. Expecting an entire house on your own is probably a bit much for most people.
