In the Bay Area the threshold for basic living wage is slightly over $51,000 a year because of the very high real estate and transportation costs.
During my dotcom days in the South Bay I made $90,000 a year yet didn't have two nickels to scrap together at the end of the month. Since I moved to Sacramento, I make half as much but still have money left over at the end of the month.
