$2,800 per paycheck is roughly $100-110,000 (depending on deductions) before taxes. The average household income and family income in Oklahoma City is $48,500 and $62,500, respectively. How is he not making objectively good money for Oklahoma as a single earner?

OP said takehome is $2800, assuming 26 paychecks that's $72k a year. It's livable, for sure, but not objectively good. I lived there, I know. It's enough to be comfortable.

I think we have different definitions about what good money is. Making more take home money than the average family’s gross is certainly good to me.

Maybe but the point is they're in the bay area and this isn't even close to good money there, even if you doubled it.

I agree - certain parts of the country feel like a different planet when it comes to cost of living. And with OP’s debt, they’re in a tough spot.
