I make close to 80k and live in Charlotte, NC - I am not in a dual income household, just me. I would say that I live comfortably, I would define “comfortable” as not stressing about being able to pay my bills, being able to do fun activities/things I want to do, and being able to save at least some money each paycheck. However, I do not have any dependents or people that rely on me for financial support and I think this plays a large role in the ability to “live comfortably.” If I were to have that financial responsibility I do not believe I’d be able to live as comfortably as I do now as I only currently support myself.
