Oh for sure. Count yourself lucky, its a salary to be proud of. You can not only survive on it but if you learn to budget well you can thrive on it.
I will also say have you tried asking for more? Its extremely common in the negotiating process.
For example my last job I took offered me 80, I said in, professional terms, I feel based on industry standards, cost of living Rises, and comparing to average salary in my field in my area, etc, that 85 would be a more fair compensation. I started the job at 85.
Might work, might not, but I’ve never heard of an offer being taken away because someone asked for more than the initial offer. Worst case is they just hold their ground and your salary is what they offered.
