It depends on so many factors like where you live, and how much debt you have. I could do life on a lot less if I didn't spend 1500 per month just on student loans. I’d say 180k in HCOL and 100k in LCOL.
In my area (semi-LCOL, we're about 5% below national average) it's possible to live modestly and support your family with a household income of 100k or so. You won't be living in a McMansion or driving a luxury vehicle, but you'll be able to afford at least a 3bdrm and have reliable transport, afford a few trips sometimes and have a comfortable savings account in case of emergencies. Considering we live right outside a large emtropolitan area I'd say 100k isn't an unrealistic goal if both parties are working (or one party has a relatively good job).
To raise a successful happy family without your significant other working and be kind of comfortable. 125k
So many factors! But in my area, minimum 100k. And that’s assuming you have a decent rent agreement or bought a house 5+ years ago, and don’t need or want the finer things in life! I’m in a lower cost for my state, so if you want to make good money you have to commute a bit, but then to live closer to that good money, you have to pay the price for it.
