This has always been the case for people that have not had piles of money.

I mean do you get access to the best yachts?

To the top of the 5 star hotels?

To the best resorts?

To the best military equipment?

Hell, the best computer equipment has nearly always been out of reach of the average person.

I couldn't care less about owning a yacht.

On the other hand even a modest house, basic healthcare and ability to not work like a slave for scraps feels like it's going to be out of reach.

It hasn't always been the case. Even then, having piles of money still does not gain access to the best military equipment. Sure, we've been living in a time where a couple people get to enjoy a wildly different lifestyle than the average, it just feels like it's about to be different in a way that isn't as ignore-able as someone enjoying a pina colada in a yacht somewhere
