New York might be too challenging on that salary, but I lived in Lyon (France’s 2nd biggest city) on less than that (36k a year) and donated a third of my earnings to animal welfare charities.
Now I don’t spend much, the situation would be different in the US (higher welfare expenses), and I dont have kids.
But I expect most people in France with this salary to be able to give 10% of their income without sacrificing their wellbeing.
