There is no way we can answer this question. Too vague

If you can tell me how much your monthly expenses are, and how much you'd like to save each month, I can roughly tell you what your income should be.

[MrRational]

If rent & utilities are no more than 30% of your gross income...
and those expenses for a 3BR 2BA house in an OK area cost you $1500...
then your gross income needs to be no less than (1500 x 3.333) $5000 or $60,000 per year.

hth

The federal poverty level is around $23,000 for a family of 4. If you have less than 185% of the poverty level, you are eligible for benefits in North Carolina, like WIC-- that figure is $42,643. So between about $43,000 and the previous poster's estimate of $60,000 would be more comfortable.

It greatly depends on what PART of NC you are talking about? It's a large state.

There might be a few 3-BR houses in Raleigh at $700/month, and a few more out in the country. There would be a few unexpected expenses like 2% sales tax on food, and a highway use tax to register a car. So be cautious about thinking everything is cheaper than where you are from.

I truly mean no offense but your post would be a lot clearer if you used punctuation.
