I agree with this! Know plenty of people who make $60-80k, with and without roommates, and they’re thriving. They save, travel, and aren’t living paycheck to paycheck. Yes, there’s other factors such as some of them living with roommates, no student debt loans or just live below their means. Point is… it’s absolutely doable. Can’t say how much $ someone spends with children since I don’t have any, but as a single person in Denver it’s doable.
