How Much Do You Really Need to Live Comfortably | Amarillo News

Inflation’s still biting, but some states are becoming more affordable. A new SmartAsset report reveals the income you need to live comfortably—using the 50-30-20 rule—ranging from $90K–$100K for singles in most places, soaring to over $200K for families of four. Hawaii tops the list for singles at $129K+, while Massachusetts leads for families at nearly $330K. Surprisingly, six states saw drops in required income, with Tennessee leading the way at under $90K. Despite slowing inflation and rising unemployment claims, Americans are spending less—retail sales dipped last month—as wallets tighten across the board.
