Is 50k not enough? Considering the cost of a house under 100k, utilities, car insurance, gas, food, entertainment? We are frugal when we have to be.

nobody in their right mind would be able to answer that question except yourself. Seriously?

I'm pretty sure that one could live comfortably on $50k in Bradenton - or most parts of FLA. It would depend on the number of family members you have, how many car payments, rent, how far you have to commute, etc etc. There are a lot of cheap things to do in FLA (beach comes to mind) - I'm guessing millions of people in the state are living on much less $$$.

It depends on you and your husband. Some couples can live on ten grand a year and some can't make ends meet on a quarter mill a year.
