mini,

The studies you cite do not control terribly well for cost of living differences. Thus, it's hard to say whether or not the NYC family is doing as well as the Topeka family. Of course, NYC is highly variable as well, and not everyone gets to live in the upper Westside.

BusinessGuy,

It still is in the top 3% or so of earnings. It's at least very very comfortable in most places.
