What's a well paying job?

Do you consider the quality/cost of medical benefits a factor in being "well paid"?

Point.
And auto insurance too. We recently had one return to the nest. Between her and her fiance they are making well over 40k, and they couldn't hack it in a small apartment in not the best neighborhood. Granted both were stupid enough to get a car loan. But when rent, food, utilities, car loans, health insurance (mandatory in Mass. We've already been Obamacized here)and car insurance (over 200/month each and both good drivers), they couldn't hack it.

Holy shit, I pay annually what they pay in 4 months.

Auto insurance here is brutal to begin with. But 18-25 year olds get HAMMERED. Carrying full comprehensive costs them both over $2K a year. Good news is next year they turn 26 and it drops. Alot.
