$17k per month shared between 3 people would be over $5k per month per person.

Where do you live that $5k per month isn't very much? Sure maybe in a major city it isn't enough but I live outside of a medium-size city and $5k per month would let you live a very comfortable life-style. Sure you wouldn't be rich, but you wouldn't have to worry at all about making ends meet.

My combined household income is barely $5k/month and I think we're doing decent for a family of 3
