That's highly situational dependent. But from the studies I've seen the need for a second car and price of child care are the biggest factors. It's easy to forget how much cars can cost these days. Parking at home, Parking at work, car payments, registration, insurance, maintenance, time/travel for oil changes, etc.

The range I've seen is on the order of $30k-$60k.
