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

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

$200-250K, too many variables though.

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

This seems about right
TNT

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

How big of a family?

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

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

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

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

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
