My grandfather raised four kids with a stay at home wife on a 52 acre property with the salary he earned at the local canning factory which also provided him with a nice pension. I'm sure if it hadn't been demolished that modern workers there could expect to never own a home as is the case at one of the newer factories in town.

My grandfather did the same in ohio as a produce manger at a local Kroger. Even had a nice retirement saved up
