Question: how much do you need to make to live comfortably on long island?
Answer: The organization's family budget calculator estimates how costly it is to live in each of America's 3,142 counties and 611 metro areas. The group estimates a family of two adults and two children in the Nassau/Suffolk metro area would need to earn a combined $139,545 per year — or $11,629 a month — to live comfortably.
