80k a year is bad? 
They might be living in a HCOL area or have kids.The fact that one has kids to feed/clothes does not invalidate the fact that 80k is a good income. OP implied his income was poor, rather than he had too many bills to pay.
It is all about perspective. If you make much more than 80k a year, it looks low in comparison. By the same measure, it looks very high to someone who makes and lives on 30k a year. Some places have very cheap living costs, so one can learn to make do on a small income.
I make a decent income per my living area, as it pays the bills. Yet, I have friends that I graduated with who make much more than me with the same degree. Most are in the $120K to $150K range. One shining star is a VP of a pharmaceutical company. His income is in the 10 million+ range, without stock options in the calculations. Good for him, I could not live his life, nor would I want to. Money does not motivate me much unlike my classmates.
