Try to afford your "average" 2.2 kids, housing costs, heating/utility/grocery costs, clothing, vehicle/fuel/insurance etc. on $40k a year. Good luck.
I'm living it everyday. Not on $40,000-but not over $100,000 either.

Also depends on where you live. My sister-in-law in Idaho and her husband are in the $60,000 and the do quite well.

Thom,
I actually did benefit fromt the tax cut. Capital gains/qualified dividends in my bracket went from 28% to 15%.

So I droped 3% in income tax and 7% in Cap. Gain/Div tax. Every little bit helps.
