I sort of get his point. The people saying $100-120 isn't enough seem pretty out of touch. You could live in a nice neighborhood, in a good public school district, and drive decent vehicles, and afford insurance, and a vacation and some mini-trips and be fine. If that life is "beneath" you, then yes, you probably have issues.

Question was perfect salary. Not minimum to be happy. 100k would be plenty for that. But perfect implies having much more.

Agreed, personally I feel if we as a family could ever gross 120k, we'd be rolling in dough for us.

I'm frugal as hell. I feel 85k gross with one child will be possible to meet our retirement goals etc. It will be much harder when my wife wants a car in a year or two.

Luckily, cost of living is low in my area.
