Yeah, sounds about right if you want to be able to be comfortable at home and have money for maybe a modest vacation once a year.

I make way less, but it would be nice to be able to afford to travel at least once a year. Not worry about car repairs setting me back etc etc.

    Don't forget any shot at a reasonable retirement too

    I’m planning to die to reduce my spend.

    That is, most literally, my plan. Not going to suicide, but either the environment or shit politics will take me out before I'm too elderly.

    And I'm not being snarky. No healthcare and seeing the ecosystem collapse has done me in. And for the young, you haven't seen the shit I've seen. Our systems are racing towards a cliff. You'd be even madder if you had lived my young life and seen where we're at now.
