[quote=Anonymous]800k HHI, own our home (no mortgage), two kids in private school, save 20% net income for retirement and college, take one vacation a year, share one care…a Subaru.

I feel like life got more comfortable (meaning we didn’t have to worry constantly about money) l when we hit the $600k mark. OP is onto something…

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone's definition of comfortable is different. Some people are comfortable driving a Subaru or Ford. I would shoot myself. Some people think 4000 sqft house is needed to be comfortable. That's way too big for me. Op, your question is unanswerable [/quote]

I can’t begin to understand your car comment. You’d shoot yourself if you drove a Subaru?[/quote]

You really can’t understand that comment?  I totally can. A boring car, especially if you have a long commute, is god awful. I like luxury when I drive far. 
I’m not really sure what’s so hard to understand about that. Different strokes for different folks and all that. [/quote]

PP is just overly dramatic. Shoot yourself for driving a Subaru? Tell us that you're privileged without telling us that you're privileged. Please.

For PP, it's a status thing. Many people convey their car as a symbol of status and wealth, or something that they can easily show off to neighbors. If you're secure in where you're at, it's not that big of a deal. To each his own. [/quote]

Not everything in life is about status sweetie. If I was the last person on earth I still wouldn't wear walmart clothes and drive a subaru. Besides, that wasn't the point of the post. The point of the post was that different people have different preferences and there is absolutely no remotely agreed upon definition of "comfortable." Hence this entire thread is pointless.[/quote][/quote]
