[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make under $60K as a single parent with one school-aged kid. It's tight, but we don't really lack for anything. I wouldn't call it comfortable, but I'm not poor. I'm able to take 2-3 trips a year to visit family and my kid is in 2 extracurriculars through the parks and rec league. I don't have any debt other than about $20K in student loans, I contibute to retirement and I rent. For ME, I'd feel comfortable at about $70K. I could max out retirement and start contributing to college savings and saving to buy a house. [/quote] And, for me, that is what I remember from my first day of economics class at college: What do we want? A little bit more. Sure, a pile of money would be great but really I'd be OK with just a bit more than what I have. This drives our entire economic system.[/quote]
