To live in America as 1 adult you need to make minimum $70k. If they're only paying $57k, that's a short fall of $13k and some change b/c you have to factor in taxes, which after $60k, you can expect to be paying over $13k in taxes alone.
Making $70k, or even $100k you're living check to check. God forbid you have an actual emergency.
I'd say minimum $150k would allow you to have a wife and 1, maybe 2 children in the US in most developed parts of the country.
There are ways around this issue. You'll need 4 working adults under or roof minimum. If each adult makes $20hr minimum, you can collectively make $150k but pay less taxes and you'd be able to pool your money together to help each person buy a home or property to elevate pass the poverty line.
Right now, your best bet is to find a group to go hard with for 1yr. Make big meals, no fighting, no bickering, no kid's, use 1 vehicle with minimum 50mpg. It won't take long to save a few grand to buy a property to rent out to a few small families. Love with the same 4 ppl and by 1.5yrs y'all should be able to buy another property and eventually go your seperate ways.
