Yes, but any spare income earned by multiple working adults in a family will eventually be siphoned up by either landlords, or banks.

Um what!? My family has two incomes. We save the entire second income (before taxes) and then some. Not to mention interest rates are at historic lows.

(PS, people's spending tends to match their income no matter how high the income, it's called lifestyle inflation)

In hot markets, landlords will charge as much rent as their tenants can bear. If enough people have an entire income available to them, rents will rise.

If your bank is eating your income, you need a new bank.
