What do/can I do to determine what is considered "financially stable" in the area I live in?

Asslamualaikum warhamtu Allahi wabaraktuh,

I like many others want to get married, marriage however doesn't come by itself. One has to work towards it. Now there is many area one has to work on before they can get married (Deen, finances, health, character etc..)

Outside of finances I have a solid understanding of what I need to work on.

So I would like to know what I can do to figure out ( how much I should be earning/what is considered "financially stable") before I can go ahead an search for a spouse. After all there is no point in searching for a spouse if you can't handle the finical burden that comes with it.

I would also appreicate any advice regarding this topic:
