[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what I see:

$1-1.4m house
Nice but not extravagant cars (Acura or Lexus. No AMG or M class)
1 week of skiing in winter
2 weeks of summer vacation at the beach
A few expensive weekends away
Retirement and college funds are well funded
Private school for kids[/quote]

This pretty spot on.  You can also afford a maid once or maybe twice a week.  And you can do $100 dinners with friends without thinking. ($100 for you and spouse).  You can on special occasions afford very expensive dinners ( ie city zen, kinkeads, inn at little washington).  You can every few years afford a very high end vacation (Ie African Safari), but definitely fly coach. [/quote]

This is accurate for us.  Private school at 60k a year and a nanny at 40k a year are big expenditures. Plus expensive camps. 
I think we should be saving more. 
We go out for expensive meals with friends too often - need to cut back on that. 
But, we don't spend money on nice furniture or clothes. Maybe an occasional splurge, but we keep those things pretty basic. [/quote]
