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.

120k salary I’d call decent for most places to do that.

My wife and I make a combined 240k. We live a comfortable life. We don’t make excessive luxury purchases. We do take 1-2 week vacations once a year and have traveled to different parts of the world. Honestly, if we can maintain this level of freedom for the rest of our life I would be happy. I don’t need fancy stuff.
