Is this a fair salary?

I've got a master's degree with 5 years of experience in market research & another 3 years in marketing. I'm currently getting paid $75,000 a year (after tax it comes to just $4,000 a month). If you were to the cost of living - the average mortgage is $2,500 per month & that doesn't include other bills!

What do you think? Is this a fair salary??

Update:

I live in Sydney, Australia - cost of living here isn't cheap.

    I don't think you said where you live. Where you live and where you work makes a big difference. Also, how old are you? If you're in your 20's, this is more than fair. If you're in your 30's, you're still doing very well. In today's economy, I think this is good.

    be happy you have the job. You could ask for more money.
