I was at 52k when I first started in July. I'm now at a little over 72k. It is definitely hard, especially with high the cost of living where I am located. Luckily, my wife makes about the same so the dual income is what keeps us afloat.
$84k here and barely scraping by myself. I have no idea how people can survive on $60k a year, much less minimum wage. Things are so much more expensive now than even a few years ago, and pay has not kept up at all.
That is about where I am, and it isn’t easy. I have a very strict budget and must stick to it. You figure out where you can cut back.
