    • Define Comfortable:
      • “comfortable” here means you can reliably cover all your essential costs—housing, food, utilities, and other bills—without feeling like you’re constantly on the edge. It also means having a little left over to save, maybe take a vacation now and then, and just not living paycheck to paycheck or stressing over every minor expense.

        • 2000: $75,000
        • 2010: $59,000
