In the area I'm living in, if you want to live comfortably while renting, a good annual salary is about $50,000. If you want a decent house in a good neighborhood, I'm guessing you'll probably need around $100,000 (thanks to the real estate bubble). To me, more is better in this case, because you can always save the excess for retirement/future use, emergencies, cars, travel, help others, kids and their education. If I had just enough to pay the bills, I wouldn't have much for those other things. I really don't want to think about if I can afford something all of the time.

The more you make, the more you spend. Most people are one paycheck away from being homeless. I feel that I have a comfortable wage due to the fact that I could go more than one paycheck before being homeless. Plus I am able to help my family and friends.

Depends on what you call living, just enough, excess, but mostly how you define happy

It depend on where you live and what you consider to be comfortable. ie. the index and such or, the fact that baloney tasts just fine, until you taste Filet Mingon.

Depends on what the individual considers comfortable.Just enough only helps me. I want the ability to uplift others and teach them to help themselves and others. Peace.
