You cannot understand basic English. There is no benefit to speaking with you. Goodbye.

You could not be any more incorrect.

This is completely doable. For my wife and I we live off of something like this...
850 rent
400 food
150 utilities
70 cable and internet
no car payment (buy older used, pay cash)
100 car insurance (3 cars, 2 drivers)
65 student loan
200+ for gas
We don't lead boring lives. While we don't have all brand new furniture or electronics we'll add something nice every few months. We take about 3 vacations a year (One week with my wife's family, one with my family, and then fly to NY for Christmas). We probably spend $1500-2000 in air fare a year. We could easily afford a car payment if we didn't have high savings goals (22% of my income is saved or donated in one way or the other).
My wife doesn't work a full time job because she is going to school but over the year she'll make maybe $5k doing substitute teaching and a scholarship. I make about $60k. We do just fine. If you can't live off of $80k there is something seriously wrong.

It's pretty simple really. The fact that you asked this question means you are an attention whore. No, I don't care if you are a girl. I'm married and she is automatically a much better person than you because she could have figured this out on her own. With that said, you are also stupid for not being able to figure this out on your own. Whoever is offering to pay you $80K has been mislead unless you are soliciting your body or some other non-intellectual skill or ability.
My wife and I make $100k together and we can afford a house, rental condo even without a renter, car payment, and all of the bills that go along with regular life. We still manage to save over $2k a month without much trouble.
House - $1950
Condo - $1200
Car - $350
Natural Gas avg - $100
Electricity avg - $100
Cable, Internet, Phone - $117
Water/Sewage - $20
Car Insurance - $107
HOA - $58
Food - $250
Gas - $100
Misc - $250
$4602 in monthly expenses
+ $950 monthly rental income
+ $6000 combined monthly income
= $2348 saved
I keep track of every penny we spend in a spreadsheet and these figures are representative of the last 20 months of our lives. Our average monthly savings on $100k pretax is $2348 and that is with several things we could do without. Even if we went a few months without a renter, we'd still be saving over $1k a month paying for TWO houses at the same time. You royally suck if you even have to ask if $80k is enough to live on.
Let's get all of these out of the way while we're at it:
I'm being snide, rude, not worth talking to, can't understand basic English, and there is no benefit to speaking to me.
Lastly, he was implying that you are a Grade A bitch and no man with a correctly functioning brain would put up with your bullshit. I know it was subtle, but that's what he meant.

you cant. well, you could if you had very few other expenses. it always looks good and doable on paper, but IRL it doesnt work out as squeaky clean.
80k is plenty of cash to live on in most places, just dont expect to move into 90210 or anything.

He wasn't implying that spending $3k/mo on a house was a good idea at that salary. He was showing that it is possible. At least that's what I understood from his post.

You guys make $6000 COMBINED per month? Oh that poor girl...living on top ramen must be like hell. One day she'll drop the zero and get herself a hero.
Nothing personal, just letting you know what will happen soon. Have a good day!

^^ I would just like to go on record and say that I was the first person to flame this troll.
You're welcome, everybody. No, seriously, it was my pleasure. No thanks are necessary.
