re: Amount you need to earn to live comfortably by state

Define comfort? I make well over $400k/year yet….

Have never spent more than $15,000 on a vehicle

Paid cash for a humble house

Mow my own grass, do home projects, repairs myself

Change my own oil, fixes myself

Clean my own house

Exercise regularly and eat healthy = no prescription medication or doctor visits

Only eat out on special occasions as a treat/reward.

My bills, including groceries total less than $1000/month.

Not sure why you need to make that much to live in Texas unless you’re just an entitled, spoiled, piece of trash. The younger generation needs a big lesson in a ‘do it yourself’ mentality.
