If you compared yourself to the average guy 50k is a lot of money...unless you wanted an apartment in the best area you could afford a place on 50k no problem...where does she want a place and how big?...average wage is 18k so 50 is doing pretty well...but each person has their own definition of whats good i suppose so your daughters stnadards are higher than 55k...i can say id be happy with what shes earning...
If you are single with a house/car and want a good standard of living 50k should be enough for you to have good life, ofcouse also depend of how you manage your money.
A "good" salary is however much is enough to make you satisfied with your lot in life and confident that you could live out the rest of your life like that without being unhappy.
exactly! ^
Personally.... I'd need to make 75k+ to live comfortably with my family and perhaps even give them the finer things in life (ie pvt schools, academic enrichment programs, extra curricular activities, vacations, college funds etc etc)
$30K is enough to get anyone 3 meals, some rags and a roof. (rotee kapRa makaan). If your girl (or guy) is choosing you simply because you make his or her minimum expected $, i'd try to keep some distance from that person.
For a single person, 50 K is MORE than enough to live off of. You have to remember, that you're not spending your annual income entirely in one year. If you save, then you can build yourself a comfortable life with a 30-40K salary. Just requires a lot of saving.
50K would be luxurious in my book. 70-80K is minimum for professionals, usually, unless you land an unfortunate job.

unless they're total idiots who will completely waste their money, buying useless crap and not have an ounce of common sense... for those people, no amt of salary is good enough.
^ between two penny wise spouses, it better and does help budget, and then bills can be paid with in fairly modest amount of income :)
But then too ,you need income,insurance etc etc...You can't live in a western country without apartment rentals,utility bills,car,car insurance,health insurance etc & for that you need a good salary.
Just for my understanding: The ranges for "good" and "excellent" salaries that you are giving here are net salaries or gross? Especially in the case of the UK that would make quite a difference.
I think better pay is betwen 80 and 100 k is nice but in that you still cannot be able to afford a private school.It all depends on area i think salary must be over 100 k if u wanna afford a decent house and islamic or private schools.
You guys are only analysing salaries in USA or UK. The range of course changes where u live & how much u make according to the country standards.
For example, living in London u may be looking around 36K as standard pay, but for the same job u will not get more than 25K if u are in Manchester or Glasgow. Same rule applies to other parts of world.
So good salary may be different depending upon where one is living & what are the living standards.
