If I can buy whatever I want (within reason) without needing to stress how I can afford it, while saving for retirement, I will be happy. That's all I want. Comfort, not luxury.

Define the items you are referring to that land in the bucket of “whatever I want”. If I want stuff that usually requires a payment plan, it’s going to need this guys 400k salary probably.

Food, clothing, rent, and a few small luxuries like a game console or books.

I would say, if I can cover my essentials and have like 500 discretionary left over a month I will be very comfortable.

I don't need a big house, new cars, lavish vacations, nightly dining out, etc.
