I know teachers at my high school who made no more than $50k and supported a family of 4 or 5 pretty well. They didn't be take any extravagant vacations, didn't drive a BMW, sure as heck didn't have "a couple dirt bikes, an RV, or a ski boat," and they were quite content. They lived in a nice sized house and in a nice, safe, and very family oriented neighborhood. They loved their life. 100k is the "minimum" to support a family? Whatever.
