Nothing new; I’ve always stated one needs to make 100k per every member of their household just to be comfortable…
 
$102,xxx for Maryland? That is only if you want to live in a big ass house in Upper Marlboro or Bowie. Plenty of areas you can live relatively comfortable for that. I speak as a man without children so YMMV.
