This is absolutely not possible on what spirit is paying unless maybe you commute from a cheap part of the country or live in Dallas in some of the more affordable areas that still have good schools (I assume that exists).
It also has nothing to do with what average Americans are making. We are professionals and further the average American is totally fukced financially.

I'm sure you came here with eyes wide open, knowing the pay, what it could afford you, and a future contract with speculative pay rates somewhere off in the distant unknown future.
In your earlier years, would you have gone into a fancy steakhouse and order the steak and lobster, knowing you had no money to pay for it and the plan would be to run out the door? Because in this example, the above mentioned "basic needs" are the steak and lobster and clearly Spirit doesn't pay you enough to eat it, so why did you walk into the restaurant?

That doesn't make any of what stated in my last post untrue.
