What should a Plumber going into a truck be making?

I know that this question has a ton of variables, but lets say:

A guy apprentices for a while and does a great job, acquires every tool needed for 99 percent of of the jobs he would be selling, and gets his own truck. Has excellent quality of work, is producing revenue in the upper middle of the average, has no problem showing up every day, is good with customers, plenty of life experience, and generally has no major issues other than not having years of professional plumbing experience.

So since everybody has a different cost of living, a dollar value clearly can't be used, but how about apples to apples. Assume around a 50hr work week.

Should this plumber be making enough to support himself, rent or mortgage, utilities, car payment, etc.

How about supporting a wife, two kids, etc.

If this is unanswerable, then I apologize, I am just curious
