In Kansas City, you can get by on about $27-30,000 and not live paycheck to paycheck (as long as you aren't already paying off a lot of debt)..... for this area, I'd say about $50-60,000 is a good paying job. You could have a mortgage payment, car payment, take a decent vacation or two every year, and generally not worry about how much you spend on entertainment, eating out, etc.
