    A household of two adults would have $320k gross annually, so twice that.

    You don’t think that’s moving the goalpost just a bit by doubling the number of earners?

    Also, I’m comfortably supporting two adults in a HCOL area, with a mortgage and high medical bills, for under $125k annually.

    I’d be interested to hear how you’re accomplishing that. At a minimum, can I ask what your housing costs are?

      I changed nothing about my original comment. I said per person, not household.

      Mortgage payment is currently $5,500 / mo. Note that this is not an income of $125k annually, but net expenses as recorded over the past few years.
