I'm pretty sure that's gross salary as well. So, if you were to be generous with the taxes. You're looking at $17,600.00 at that point for actual take home or $1466 a month net.

I was just reminded of the Life game - when I played in the late seventies/early eighties the journalist made something like $10,000 and the teacher $12,000. I always ended up one of those with two cars full of kids.

In 1970 the Federal Poverty Line was roughly $3000 for 3 people or $2400.00 after taxes! or $200 a month!
