Not to mention by the last few years of the series Robert has married Amy and she is working full-time.  Realistically (what am I saying?  it's a sitcom!) Robert and Amy should easily have had more take home pay than Ray and with far less day to day expenses to account for.

I assume the writers chose to make Robert and Amy poor or poorer than Ray and Debra as a way to show how lacking the single life is compared to the richness of married life with kids.

Speechless was a great show featuring a working class family with a disabled son. They talked about health insurance and SSI which most shows never discuss.
