Is Medical Billing and Coding Pay Enough for a Full-Time Living?

[emmyjohn]

I'm looking into medical billing and coding as a long-term career option, but I'm unsure if the pay is enough to support myself full-time. I've seen mixed information online—some say it's decent, others say it's barely above entry-level wages. Can anyone working in the field share what the real-world medical billing and coding pay looks like after taxes, benefits, and a few years of experience? Also curious if certain certifications or specialties pay better.
