It all depends on what the cost of living is.
I remember a time when earning $10,000 a year was darned near wealthy.

Mark Twain did a funny scene about the cost of living and the relevancy of concurrent wages in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Try as he might, Hank could NOT get the locals to understand why his seemingly-high wages "at home" did not make him wealthy.
