You jumped to the conclusion that I was single, because it your head**, 50K is what you make when you're just out of college and you can live in a group house, but by the time you're a real adult with kids etc. you're making 100K. It's so obvious! Someone who posts about making 50K must [i]surely[/i] be young and single!

**in your head, I meant.

By the way, in my own situation, we're fine even though I make the salary of a 22 year old. Because my DH does very well. But if he wouldn't or couldn't work? We literally could not afford to live here on my salary even though I am a professional with a real job. There are places in the country I could support my family on 50K, but this is not one of them.

So when I see someone like the OP saying that she's worried about finances and making it on one income, I don't jump to the conclusion that the OP [i]must[/i] make 100K+ and is just resistant to cutting back her expenses. I think it actually is within the realm of possibility that the OP literally doesn't make enough money to live here on one salary.

None of us knows, of course, what the OP's actual salary is. I'm just trying to express that the assumption that everyone makes 100K+, and related lectures about cutting back expenses and cheap houses, aren't really very helpful.
