I would say barely if you have no debt, yeah. but it's barely getting by. I don't live there yet, but im planning on moving there. 60,000 is what you want to make as a single person with no debt, to be able to afford rent, car, and expenses and maybe save a little cash.

65K for two people with no debt is still possible, but I would try to bump that to 75K. Ideally a houshold of two people should bring in over 100K a year. New jersey is a very expensive place to live.
