Well it all depends on your lifestyle, My wife does not work, have a small1 year 
old child and I make almost double of what you specified, I am system admin and 
I love it. I do live outside of the city, in queens right by the ocean, great 
place. rents are around $1000 and they go up. Nothing luxury about those 
locations but verizon does offer FiOS internet service which 30mbit downstream 
and 5mbit upstream (which I do love. We have no money left after we spend it all 
every month, but as I said it all depends on your spending limit and habbits. I 
am moving to CT where it will cost me more, got a job which pasy a bit more 
thatn current job and I am in the same boat as you trying to figure all of this 
out. I did commute to work by car, have SUV and it does cost me $60 per 4 day 
trip back and forth for Gas, insurance I pay $2200  ayear and so on. Depending 
on the medical plan I had to pay extra $6000 almost last year when my baby was 
born, for hospital visits and all the other crap, so I thoght that I had great 
insurance and everthing but after all I guess it was not...

By the way, are there any good Solaris System admins in here on the list? I need 
one to fill in my spot, I can direct you to the proper place if you good and you 
can make pretty good money in here...
