====================================
I fall short by $6,000
But I already knew I was not middle class since have been living check to check forever.
$40K is a good salary, you just need to:
A. Make it in a place where rent is cheaper
B. Convince your wife to make $20K if you must stay where rent is costly. (pretty much every job pays $10/hour+ for full time)
You really just need to stop living in big cities where decent places to live cost a lot.
If you guys moved to any smaller towns and both worked you could live like kings on $60-$70K.Cheaper housing, restaurants mean more cash left over.
