A single male can live on 70k, it's when you add a spouse and kids into the equation where that brings you into the lower class.

200k is doable with a spouse if she is genuinely a "good girl" homebody with low maintenance.

That's silly. 200k even after taxes is still a comfortable living in most of America if you manage your money properly.

As others have noted it depends on the cost of living where you at but saying 200k is the new 70k is still wild as fukk...

Supporting a wife and kid on 200k in NYC is tight but you ain't living the paycheck to paycheck life if you manage that right...

There are people supporting families on less of that in NYC. Unless you are living in high end posh areas of Manhattan, 200k in NYC is very good.
