How much money do you need to live comfortably?

Question

Everybody has a different opinion I'm sure. I think I'd be ok on 45k a year...So what about you?

Answer 1

So many different circumstances....what part of the country you are living in....income levels of the zipcode....are you single or not single....this is the way i see it....nowadays...if you want to live in a nice suburban neighborhood.....with 2 or more kids, and being married with a split income you would want to be around 100K-150K to live comfortably...this is including that you are going to be investing in your children's college funds....you can obviously live with 75K-100K split, if you are not planning on college investing....if you are single you can live very comfortably with anything under 50K....there are just a million different circumstances....like i said, your lifestyle, your area  you wanna live in, and your marital status are all very big factors. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I'd be more comfortable with 100k a year. More money would mean less stress over buying the kind of computer, peripherals, and software that I need.

Not to mention early retirement. ;-)

Answer 3

The more you have the more you spend. I don't think there is a set amount. Every person is comfortable at a different level. Some are satisfied with little, because money is not important to them. Some always want more.

Answer 4

Well for me only with three millions of dollars,with that I can buy a House paying cash instantaneously.Also I can afford to pay a car,a mini coupper,or a ferrari.Furthermore I can have my own big business that give me money every 15 or 30 days to continue surviving in this life.It's my opinion everybody thinks different or every head is a world.
