    $318k for a family in NYC HAS to be bullshit, surely? The median salary is $74k. Are that many people struggling, or is the definition of “living comfortably” a stretch?

      =T every indication is that living comfortably is well beyond the means of most people, and personally, with the definition laid out and used in this article, many agree it is a good measure,… and most would agree that most (more than 50%) of people are living well below it.
