I mean it sounds to me like you're just wealthier than your parents were, but housing has risen in price disproportionately and so the things you buy are different. Would you really be purchasing a house if you didn't buy a phone every 2 years? The things you list sound like, idk, $10k/year with some heavy assumptions mostly weighted on the vacations than the tech. It's likely true there's more premium goods at (higher) affordable prices, but that doesn't actually contradict the narrative that housing has gotten a lot more expensive.
I say this as someone in the same boat, who could/would/will casually afford to buy an expensive home under 30.
The median net worth of millenial families (35 and under) is $10k. Probably trends negative if you filter down to people below age 30 only.
