Depends on what sort of lifestyle you wany to live. Some people earn over 100,000 a year but still feel they need more to pay for their ambitions, while others are happy leading a simple life earning 30,000.
In the UK I'd say a single person withtheir own flat could get by on £25,000 but a married man with a wife & 2 kids would probably need to be earning £40-50K to pay the mortgage and support the family

Depends on where in the country you live in - One of the Coasts, better be six figures plus - in Alabama? Maybe 50k, Appalachia? Maybe 40k.
Also, one person, 5 kids? Health problems? too many factors to give a number.

Without knowing your financial details and your monthly expenses; I would say that you would want a salary that was at least 3 times the your monthly expenses. For example if your monthly expenses total is $1200.00, you would probably want a $3600.00 per month salary.

This depends all on your level of contentment. What kind of house and car and little odds and ends do you need to be happy.

If your not an over spender and just want a decent home and car. I think $30,000 a year is a good salary.

That depends upon how you live! It takes at least half a mil annually to maintain my lifestyle.

That will depend on your geographic location and family condition. I will also depend greatly upon your expectations.
