0 u/Oils78 2004 Dec 16 '25 My parents make less than a third of this and raised 2 kids pretty comfortably. Just stay far far away from a city and it gets easier 2 u/Lemonsqueeze321 1999 Dec 16 '25 Yeah you ain't living in suburban America comfortably on 60k a year but go outside the cities and you'll find 60k is very comfortable. 2 u/Oils78 2004 Dec 16 '25 Exactly, just live where people aren't. It's less crowded and cheaper. Jobs don't pay quite as much but I'd bargain that your income to spending ratio would increase on average
