    Depends where you are and your housing situation. I know people with no kids who inherited houses and make $30-35/hour and live like kings.

      Your biggest expenses as an adult tend to be kids(daycare/food/etc) then housing, so yeah its no suprise people making 60-70k who dont have to worry about those would be able to do real well.

        Even then, location matters a hell of a lot for housing prices.

        My 2b2b 1200sqft house in small town Texas cost me $110k in 2018, and the value really hasn’t changed a ton since (I think it’s up to 150 now).

        At the time, a comparable house in Houston was at least twice that.
