So that $60k is ABOVE the median HOUSEHOLD income! If you have two household members working (ie. both parents), that's actually $25k/year per WORKING family member! For those who are curious, that $25k/year = $12.50/hour.
$60k/year is decent money even here in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's not living large and it's not driving a new car, but it's a reasonable apartment in a reasonable neighborhood with a 10 year old car.

Yeah, but 60K goes a LOT further in just about anywhere else in the country than it does in the Bay Area!
Not to mention those state income taxes, the high sales tax, electricity rates, water rates... haha... I am more thankful each day that I left that state!
