借宝地问一下，
49K/year in Des Moines, Iowa. Is it possible to survive?

Of course! US's average household income is just above 20k :-)

Survive is always not a big problem. What the size of your family?

myself.

Never been there. Guess you could consider to lease a Porsche.

Just for reference, may i ask what's your company and position?
