I guess it depends on where one lives. A family could live like royalty here on 150k, and quite comfortably on 50k.

I live in a rural area of upstate NY. The median personal income for males in this county was 28,000 according to the latest statistics and ran 27 - 29,000 in three surrounding Counties. The median household income {more than one person working in most} in all of those counties is still under 50,000. Most folks ain't livin high on the hog around here.

How about moving to an area with more opportunity? Everytime I see some one bitching about the poor economy in the area they live I question their motivation and or intelligence. The fact is many people never earn a decent income because the lack the motivation to seek one out.
