I'm sorry but this can't be correct. I live within 30 minutes of two minor cities with plenty to do and me and my wife combined make around 100k. We live comfortably and have 50k in the bank in addition to retirement. We also have one kid. This is highly dependent on where you live. I am not saying the cost of housing,etc is not a problem but some of these numbers need to be put in context.

When did you purchase your housing (rough year range) if you don't mind?

That sounds awesome, but I live in low CoL area make more and feel like I'm just eaking by sometimes.
