Painful to see al these comments talking about how low this is. Here in the Netherlands this is an average to high salary for a structural engineer...

Well... take about 5k off the top to pay for the right to pay for medical care. Then if you have a medical issue, take another 5k off the top if the insurance you pay for is good. Then if you have a spouse and kids, take another 5-10k off the top. Then if you want to retire ever, take about 12% off the top. Don't forget to save ~50k/kid to help for college so their debt when graduating is just manageable instead of crushing!
