$150k/year. Enough to afford the house I'm in and still have enough left to not have to worry about being short on any recurring bills. Note: I'm in California. Most other states and id be fine at 90-100k.

I’m doing pretty good with $47k income right now. I would like to have a little more so I can grow my savings faster.
>5k gross
Enough that I'm not completely broke before my next paycheck.
Seriously, that's all it would take for me to be happy, a little bit of disposable income.
140k lets me start getting ahead properly and even start thinking about retirement.
At current purchasing power, about 120k. Anything beyond that becomes nice to have, anything below and you're giving something up.
200K so I'd be able to purchase a decent flat
The one I'm on is fine. I dont need more money to be happy. Safety and security matters a shitload more than material stuff, and unfortunately money doesnt guarantee those without a bunch of other lifestyle compromises
