This is the thing I'm always fascinated by in these stories - the complete lack of understanding for why not everyone can have everything in a particular place with finite resources.

> I'm in the highest percentiles of income in Sweden

Which one is it then? 80th? 90th? 99th? 99.5th?

> It's basically impossible for me to afford a house / apartment for my family in the best neighborhoods.

Which are the "best neighborhoods" in your mind? How many houses/apartments are there in those "best" neighborhoods?

Do you see why these numbers matter if you're trying to learn from this situation rather than just complain and pretend nothing is finite?
