I currently take home a little over half of my salary. My take home pay after taxes, retirement, health care, etc comes out to about $76k per year. I'm paying a lot in taxes because I have no deductions other than my mortgage and I live in a somewhat high tax state. My spouse and I are considering relocating to a state with no income tax. We eat out a lot and have a bunch of streaming services we picked up during COVID. We are also helping out our child in college.

I agree I should spend more time running the numbers.
