Every interview book I have read has always said delay the conversation of salary until later in the interview, or wait until the employer brings it up. But, I just finished my second interview and we still did not discuss salary or benefits at all. I know they are interviewing 2 more people today and they said they will make their decision this week, but I dont know what they will offer me if I get this position. I heard rumors that it pays $45-$50k, which is acceptable to me, but I never confirmed this with them. Do you think it is bad that this has not yet been discussed? Will I be disappointed by the offer?

This is a Marketing Manager position with a fairly large company. They did not bring up salary at all and neither did I

What type of position is it? What company is it with?
Anyway, I didn’t discuss salary with the employer until they offered the job to me, and I went through 3 interviews. If they didn’t bring up your salary expectation, then do not worry about it. If they brought it up, and you didn’t say what you expect, then you are in a bad situation. They will look at your resume, and based on your qualifications, offer you what they feel is reasonable. So, the answer is no. This will be something talked about later if it hasn’t been brought up yet.

You won't necessarily be disappointed if you get an offer. Sometimes employers don't bring up salary and benefits in the interview process, and that doesn't mean the salary is sub-par.

Salary not being discussed until offer is typical in my past experience. So No, this is not a bad thing.
