$173K sounds realistic, don't forget what income tax will do to this number.

Interesting.. I didn't think the two car family with women working started until the late 70s or 80s.

I was there in the '60s and saw most families here had 2 cars. I had to ride to 4H, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and sports with friends whose moms had cars. My family only had one, mom never learned to drive. I grew up in the sticks, probably even more cars elsewhere.
