That’s the whole point; location. The amount necessary to be comfortable is very dependent on your location.

Property prices correlate strongly with local income levels. Owners know how much you make and they fix prices of wages, rent and other cost.
Hence why u can make objectively high income and feel like a peasant.
Buying power is eroded to the point where 100k is just getting by wage in Seattle or some shit
