better benefits and more holidays than I get at my job. I would say he would be doing good where I live in western wisconsin.

Well, i have almost all of that, except I have 30 days of vacation yearly (sick days are part of that), family, health/vision and family life insurance. ESOP program and have the probability to become part owner after 5 years....
I have a wife and son, have a 2400sqft house (a few bills) and I only make $63,000 and I'm doing DAMN good.....so yes.....that is very reasonable for a single person....
It really depends on where you are. If you're in Columbus, OH, then you'll do just fine. If you were trying to live in Manhattan or San Francisco on that income, then you would struggle.
In the Washington DC area, as a single person, that might allow you to live in an apartment by yourself that's NOT 30 miles away from the job (only, say, 10 miles). It would be a nice starting salary for someone in their 20s.

Ugh that's so depressing. I live in Metro area too, and I couldn't find a job that pays that no matter how hard I tried.
