of course. And in the other 98.7% of the country 100k/year is plenty to raise 3 kids just fine.
98.7% of land are doesn't equal 98.7% of the population. We have 100 million in the East Coast trying to stay afloat amidst inflated rent and property taxes.
Are you really trying to argue that 100k/year isn't enough to raise three kids on the east coast?
It's well enough, ~ $ 49, 000 yearly was enough for my parents, with a family of 4 in Los Angeles, but things may have changed, though I know families who earn just more on that, and they have enough money to raise their 2-3 kids.
