Depends on the type of work you do, and the cost of living in your area.
I'd be happy making that, so yes, $50,000 annually would be a decent wage for me. (legal field - southwest pa)

It really depends on where you live. I live in California, and I am a student, working full time making 35,000 a year (yeah it sucks but I am still in school). 35,000 a year only covers my car, victorias secret bill, cell phone, and shopping money. My fiance makes about 90,000 a year which is ok, but we get by. It just really dpends on your lifestyle. If you live in California and you want to buy a house it would be best to at least make 60,000 a year, aand save mo ney, because you at least need 100,000 for a down on a house here. But if you are ok with an apt. then you should be fine. Just really depends on where you live.

Yes, that's about $26.00 an hour, full time. That is a decent wage. It's above-average. Let me guess your industry, pharmacy?
I'm a tech but I work in retail, so I only make about $14.00 and hour, but in clinical they can start at over $20.00 an hour, and I think a pharmacist makes $30.00 or $40.00 an hour...

depending on where you live. but for the most part it is a decent salary. i think the average is somewhere in the mid 40's so you're pretty good to go. if you live in LA or NY then it sucks but pretty much anywhere else it's okay.

For a receptionist in Iowa, awesome
For a marketing assistant in Texas, good
For an engineer in NY, horrible

Depends on where you live. In NYC or Los Angeles, that's not good. But somewhere where the cost of living is lower, it's GREAT.

depends on the type of work and the time spent working each year.
but assuming a 2000 hour work year, i think it is more than average.
