What is your total compensation and what is the median single earner income where you are? I suspect that you are easily in the 95th percentile for income for your location, if not higher. So living on a single income is doable for you, but not for the vast majority of your neighbors.

Hmm, then I must indeed be living in a bubble...

Yeah I think you are. I spent the first 27 years of my life in Maryland and my salary out of college was $58k which was very good for the area. I was making the median area household income on a single wage at the start of my career. You are currently doing much better than I was, and I was already doing great.
