<prompt> Human: Recent events in my life have got me thinking about this, and I was motivated to make an account to see what opinions rpersonalfinance has about salaries and families and being well enough off.Basically put, my wife and I make a combined 100k maybe a little over with summer bonuses pretax. Take home pay is in the 70k range. For where we live not a major city, this puts us almost in the 1 locally maybe a slight exaggeration. Were doing good and saving investing a lot. Were also considering starting a family soon, at which point she might quit or go part time, at least for a few years, which would reduce income obviously and Ive been thinking about if it was too much lost income or not.So I come looking for a general survey. Not getting into my specific scenario, but for you: What would be the cutoff for you for salary pretax andor take home where youd say Yeah, I can live comfortably instead of I need to prioritize and make significant sacrifices?  <response>: I mean...I make 31k, take home is closer to 25k and I dont feel like I make any significant sacrifices. I certainly dont do every single thing I want, but I also dont sacrifice anything significant. I eat well, go out with friends, pay all my bills, buy things I want. I suppose it would be nice to max out my 401k and IRA, so that would take me to 55-60kyear. And...yearly vacations would be cool? 70k?
