HUD defines the "poverty line" for a family of four qualifying for low income housing in the Bay Area as $118k. That's not taking into account the car payments, vacations, and personal debts. If your definition of a living wage is a six-figure annual salary or close to it, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Type of vacation might require qualifiers. But I think it should be reasonable level. Home(protection, water and heat), food and basic healthcare with some time off should entirely be afforded to everyone in any country that calls itself western or first world(economic sense).
I'm a fan of an alternative framing of it, advocated for by people like Blake Masters. I think in a well-run society, you should be able to raise a family on one single income.<p>Interestingly, Elizabeth Warren (who, unlike Masters, is a left-wing politician) has also used this framing in her 2004 book titled "The Two-Income Trap" [1].<p>[1]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two-Income_Trap" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two-Income_Trap</a>
