$30k/year is ~$550/week.

If you already own a home that is more than enough to live well as a family in most parts of the US.

> Living off $30-45k/year maybe makes sense for 1 person, but 2 people or a whole family??

Of course you have to make sacrifices. It all depends on what you want in life.

I lived with my parents until my early thirties and that allowed me to buy a house outright.
