What is a good income to raise kids on?

I know this is another spinoff thread, but what is a good salary to raise 2 kids, have a nice house, and do comfortable things. 50,000? Never understood how some families have 3 kids, send them to private school, and go skiing in the Alps. Also, if your wife doesn't work, that's less income.

I don't know how people do it for 50k.
For 2 children I'd be shooting for 200k, honestly.

I highly doubt all you guys make 150,000! Are you all doctors?

My parents had 4 boys. We each wiped our arse with $50,000 a month.

depends on several factors:
1. cost of living for where you live
2. public schools or private
3. how many kids
4. are they girls or boys (girls are more expensive on average)

$150,000 would be ideal for three kids if you want to live the upper middle class, safe neighborhood, college-in-their-future, beach trips, safe and nice cars type of lifestyle.
It's not strange to think that two 40 year old people with career experience and college degrees are making $75k each.

In my travels, Ive noticed Asian, Black, and Hispanic families are very, very frugal. A lot of white families live large.
