I read this in Fortune or another magazine, that the top 1% of people make $200k a year in income.
They, on average, said they needed about $300-500k to live comfortablly.
while mainstream Americans felt that $40-50k was enough to live comfortably.
The surveyers asked the same question again of these groups,
except this time changing it to how much they'd need just to "get by".
This means cutting all the luxuries and living bare-bones and frugal.
The top 1% of folks said about $200k, while the middle Americans said $30-40k.
Times are arguably harder than before, so think about what your answer is.
Mine is about $30k a year for comfortable number and $20k for "getting by" .
I don't have many luxuries, nor do I really desire them.
