I live in San Diego, which is known for high cost of living, and even here I think a well paying job would start at 60k up to 70k. If you are making a above 70k you have a great paying job. Just for some perspective, when my wife and I first got married I made around 43k plus a company car a year. With that some we could afford: 1 used vehicle, 1700/month mortgage, cable, internet, two cell phones, and food for the family. She was a stay at home mom, and we had two kids. Now we definitely lived check to check, no question there. If you had bumped up that salary by 20k, we would be living very comfortable. So in San Diego, I would say 60k is the threshold for a well paying job.
