Depending on where you are in the country, $60,000 may or may not be enough money to live on.
According to the latest United States Census Bureau data, just slightly above 60k ($61,937) is median household income in America which led the personal finance site SmartAsset to put together a list of the ten best places in America to live on a $60,000 annual salary.
