I haven’t read the whole thread, but.....
Income really doesn’t paint the whole picture. A family making $50K might take home the same as a family making $60K because the $60K family’s employer provided health insurance is some kind of terrible. Does the $50K family bring that in on a single income where one parent stays at home and there are no childcare costs while the $60K family is dual income and has two in daycare?
Then there is the cost of living expenses, student loan repayments, etc.
