What minimum salary do you need to live comfortably? In Utah.

Null

Sep 12, 12:35pm

$200-250K, too many variables though.

Sep 12, 12:36pm

and another 20K if you have a daughter (or "son") who does cheer.

Or ballroom dance.

Or ballet

Not worth moving to Utah at this point. TNT had to bail

Comfortably? No

TNT

100k could be pretty comfortable with 2k mortgage and no other debt.

Not if you want to save for retirement and come out ahead every month.

It's still not bad. But other variables would be if there's matching 401k or

Maybe with no kids. But with 3-4 kids, no way.

We lived on 100K with 5 kids, including 2 teens, who both had jobs/afterschool

$200k

dtownCoug

This seems about right

TNT

Sep 12, 12:43pm

Yes, but if you have kids in club sports and an Instagram wife, then double it.

My fixed expenses about $60k, if you add in taxes & tithing Id say $120k is fine

Bainge

You're right the minimum is a function of debt load and cost of living.

How big of a family?

Zoobieman

Sep 12, 1:38pm

Only one child, but honestly he probably saved us money once we had him.

Bainge

I think this varies wildly depending on when you bought a house.

Sep 12, 12:56pm

This. If Null is moving here that mortgage could be quite high

TNT

Sep 12, 12:58pm

Yeah, if you’ve owned your house since before 2018 you’re probably paying

stenso

Sep 12, 1:01pm

The original price of my house is equal to my current household annual income

Belboz

Sep 12, 1:09pm

You state you already have a mortgage. Then I'd say $100K is enough.

runnincoug

Sep 12, 1:01pm

Comfortably is personal tolerance, But I would say $100 + 15K per child

Zoobieman

Sep 12, 1:01pm

No debt? 150k if you locked in a 2-3% mortgage
