Depends on the cost of living in your area. I guarantee 85k for a single person not living in a major metropolitan area or in a wealthy/trendy neighborhood is doing pretty damn well for themselves.

Around here, (Lancaster, PA Amish Country!) My fiancee and I bring in about $80 k per year, own our home and live pretty comfortably, but were we to live in NYC, we'd be living in a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment somewhere...

Scheisse- I posted this before reading down the thread...
