<prompt> Human: This is a very personal question to be answered but lets do this for the people that are confused about yearly salaries including me. Lets put this in three scenarios. The first one is a single guy doesnt have a room mate. Lives on his own in the city Chicago, Atlanta, etc..Second one is married with two kids and is the only one working.Third is also married with two kids but his wife is also working.Now heres the question. This guy wants a life for himself that includes fun such as 2 vacations a year. One on a cruise 300-500 per trip and another vacation around 1000 PER PERSON. Wants to drive a luxury car around 60000 to 90000 mostly a tesla. Similar car for wife if married. 400000 to 700000 house I know the difference is vast but which ever is more comfortable for him. Will all 3 of these guys be able to live life comfortable while producing a hefty savings or will they be living paycheck to paycheck. Thanks for all input.EDIT: If the third guys wife worked and made another 70 K. Would that help him attain all that?Assistant: All three will be living paycheck to paycheck being crushed by mountains of debt on a 70k salary.You cannot afford a 60k car and a 400k house making 70k gross. If your wife is also making 70k it might be possible but probably not if youre also supporting 2 kids and wanting to spend 10k on vacations per year.Human: Really even the guy living alone? His expenses other than mortgage or rent shouldnt exceed 1000. And for the third one his wife is working too. I thought only the second guy would be getting bullied by mountains.  <response>: In a 700k house and a 90k car?His car is more than he makes in a year. That is insane.
