Is vastly different from

how much do I need to meet my obligations and live comfortably in my neck of the woods
I say this because most people would LIKE, as you put it, to live a lifestyle beyond the one they currently can afford.

Our combined income last year was just over $250K . We live pretty damn good. We could be happy with FAR less if we had to though.

35 water/sewage/trash
32 for Dish network
40 for gym membership
400 for ski boat note

Roughly 1700 in bills.
After taxes make about 4,250 a month
Leaves roughly 2550 a month for food, fun, savings

you are both retired and you have a 2K mortgage?
I don’t want to be the one to break it to you, but you failed at estate planning

Maybe 12-15k min
Ideally like 20k between my wife and me after taxes because we want to do stuff like build a house and still travel and stuff

You can't figure out how they live on 5K a month without a mortgage?

What I make now. My budget grows as my salary increases 
. I tend to put more towards debt(student loans) as my salary increases. Take home about $1,240 a week. This gives me about $1,100 extra each month to do whatever I want with after my bills & even my "entertainment" budget.

It's all different levels of life.
I was OK, at 2k/month. Simple.
Got the taste of 3k/mo..enjoyed it.
4 and 5k/month great.
6k/month, I feel I should give back, but I don't. I rather enjoy seeing my bank account rise.

Start by putting down the sauce. Your OP is almost unreadable.
Posted on 8/25/18 at 1:57 am to jimdog
That's a lot of words to just say "how much go you make".
Posted on 8/25/18 at 6:35 am to jimdog

I love how when any poster has a high budget there are a rush of downvotes immediately haha. Some very jealous people on this site.

By myself would be around 5k. I’d have to give up a lot of things I like though.
ETA: in reality I have a wife and 2 kids, and mortgage and private school and vehicles notes and country club dues and gym membership and all kids of other shite I can’t remember
