What amount of income would YOU need to live very comfortable/luxurious?

[Domxmb]

Well? Random reps to people that vote and comment.

By comfortable/luxurious I mean driving cars you want/living where you want and living in the house or place you want/travelling where you want/basically doing most of the stuff you want but not at the level you are careless with money.

edit: household income pre-taxes in $$$$$$$$

For my age, I'm there. By the time I'm 30 the goal is to be in the $200k-$250k range. I'll be comfortable there.

Low cost of living here helps a lot.

[MYRON92]

could happily live on 70k a year if its after taxes?

[FinalCountdown]

srsly don't think I'd need more than 100k a year to live truly comfortably.

luxurious is all a matter of perception and relativity though

[anonymous]

dont plan on starting a family so about 100-150k would be awesome/worry free

[takoma]

I was comfortable at $36k. I don't have an urge for luxurious spending. However, I'm also a boring shut-in.

By 70k I assume you mean pounds?

[Holloween]

could make it work with my cheap ways spending 70k.

[Strengthftw]

more than 100k less than a mil

[jtrean]

70k is all I need

[NMH]

100k, couldve probably voted 70 but w/e. just want a small place with a lot of land, get some dirt bikes, toyota tundra, and a toyota supra and im set

[TooYoungForMisc]

750k+ a year.

[Mythbrah]

I could easily live happily 70k - 90k for the rest of my life.

[Realism]

They say you reach a cap of happiness from money alone just before you hit 100k. I could live a pretty nice lifestyle at 100k, anything more than that is icing on the cake. I'll probably never buy a second summer home because I like my parents summer home that will be passed down, I do not really have a thing for cars, and my main luxurious interest is traveling. How much money I'll need will probably depend on how big of a family I end up with but personally, I do not need to be a top 1% wage earner to be happy.

[animalbrah]

I could easily live off the 40k if it meant I didn't have to work 50 hours a week to make it. I would happily live in a van and just travel around.

[EstasMirando]

my dad makes 60k a year and my mom got a job last week making 24k/ year part time, and that supports a family of four comfortably, so for one person that should be more than enough.

[SteveGolds]

Personally I could live in complete comfort/satisfaction only making $40,000 a year, which pretty soon here is what I will be making as a police officer.

I am a simple dude. I don't want kids, I don't wear nice expensive clothes, I don't have tons of expensive hobbies, etc etc. Plus police officers don't have to pay for their own gas and often get a lot of meals at a discount from most places around here.

I actually prefer a small cozy house with simple furnishings over a huge phucking empty ass house any day. If it's going to be just me and my wife I wouldn't want a big house. As far as hobbies and toys go.. I am pretty simple. I like playing video games (cheap), going to see movies and going out to eat at regular resturants (cheap), go to the beach (free). I have no urge to ever spend a lot of money on some super expensive automobile either. I would be happy with a nice used truck or car thats a few years old.

I wear regular levi jeans and plain t shirts as a majority of my outfits. The one expensive item I wear that would cost somewhat a lot is my choice in shoes. Love Osiris, Nike 6.0, and Adidas. Plus my girlfriend is going to school to become a nurse so she will have her own income to spend however she feels fit.

As long as I have enough money to buy a small house, a nice used vehicle, pay insurance for everything, have some toys (video games and maybe a snowmobile/4 wheeler), go see movies and go out to eat pretty regularly I will have a blast for the rest of my life.

Simple shyt makes me happy. And I never place anything higher than my health and happiness as far as value goes.

EDIT - By the way, I don't see myself ever wanting to go on vacation more than once every couple years. Never making it too extravagant or anything either.

[thercias]

for what you described, probably 200-300k+. I'd be comfortable with 80-100k though.

[xler]

I feel like I could live a comfortable/satisfying life at 30k a year. thats assuming im alone though. make it a full household and idk, perhaps something like 75-90k combined household income.so

[illriginalized]

300k+

That's due to traveling not living with extreme luxuries.

[Hellcraft]

300k

[rotatoo]

like anyone in misc has the taste or class to match the 500k+ option.. No, a pimped-out Humvee is not class

[benzz]

500k before taxes , single no family

IMO

[AJM1613]

I could live richly with $15k. I spent around $9,000 in 2011, traveled to ten countries, and did some pretty amazing things (climbed Icelandic glaciers, hiked in the Himalayas, attended world class night clubs, scuba dived with bull sharks and whales etc.).

[MYRON92]

By 70k I assume you mean pounds?

either, 50k GBP would be enough for me to live rest of life happily
