based on this, ppl need to dead the "traditional stay at home wife convo"
Keep in mind their definition of living comfortable is making twice as much money as you need for all your necessities.
So they are essentially saying you can survive on half this. Just you won't be travelling 3 times a year to paris, and saving up for that boat.

We make $180k combined without kids yet, so this sounds about right. Feels very "comfortable" where we can save, eat out, travel and pay bills without really sweating it (DFW).

Family of 4 can be comfortable on a lot less but it depends on the bills: house paid for or not? Cars paid off or you got 2 rides with $600+ car notes?

How the fukk MA is the highest:why:

EDIT: Because of housing OK :beli: like NY or Cali or Wash is cheaper.

Massachusetts is the most expensive state to live comfortably in, requiring a total family income of about $301,184. Hawaii ($294,611) comes in second, followed by Connecticut ($279,885).


Housing is one main reason Massachusetts is an expensive state to live in, particularly in the Boston area. In addition, the state also has a high cost of living, including expenses such as healthcare and utilities.

They have stats like these and wonder why the birthrate keeps going down.
