Yes, yes you can. Most people don't have a problem with how much they make, but more with how they spend it.
If you cannot afford a decent standard of living for a 4 person family, even in Calgary, with a 50K a year job, you're doing something wrong. Sure, you may live in a smaller house and you may only own a cheap used car, but you can do it. My family managed just fine for 20 years making a total of 30 to 40k a year.
