How much money do you need to live "comfortably"?

I like to live simple. No extragavance unless I have a tree of money in my back yard. To live"comfortably" I would need rent money, grocery, water bill, electricity bill, internet bill, other miscellaneous expenses which are not regular. I am set!

Since I love the outdoors, and go camping and hiking frequently, I would like to think that I could live comfortably with no money at all. But then again, that's easier said than done!

Actually the right concept is to create passive income in excess of your expenses. That is one way that some people tried to do in my country. They bought an apartment for own stay, and another apartment for rental income. They will have to work hard to pay off both mortgages, but once the mortgages are paid off, the passive income from rental apartment should be enough to provide for their retirement. Too bad the rental market is not always good, and many of them chose to buy when the housing price was very high. Now they were under water, and some of them lost their jobs.

Hahaha I want to travel every month so I guess 6 digit salary is a must! I am not kidding plus shoes and dresses, laptops and other stuff, bags and jackets. Hahahaha a lot of does and yummy food in different restaurant in Macau, Korea, Philippines, France, Greece etc! Hahahaha lots of those. And of course luxurious life for my family.

This is exactly the sort of question we are asking ourselves as we plan our retirement. We'll be paying cash for a house so won't have rent or mortgage but i suspect we're still looking at about £200 per month for council tax, gas, electricity and water. About £400 per month on food shopping and another £200 or so on insurances and running a car. There's £800 per month just to survive. I think our plan is to try and get by on £1500 per month and if we can't then it's part time jobs. Which is something i would probably consider anyway even if we didn't need the money!

I also think I need lots of money to live comfortably and do the things I want to do. It's selfish I know but it's the truth.

I don't need millions to live comfortably.If I earn an amount with which I can fulfill my basic requirements ,it's more than enough for me.

Not many ever think that they have enough - I will admit that we do and we worked hard to get to that point.

More than I am currently making, that is for sure. @Drosophila there are times when money is a bad word.

I need lots of money for most of that, but mostly for travel and taking good care of myself. I'm doing well, thank you very much, and thanks to hubs.

Enough to pay my bills and get the things I need and some things I want.

For me not so much, but...I'm single, so my expenses are not so high, and things that I tend to like buying tend to last, like I collect swords and archery stuff, aside from needing new arrows or equipment for building things, I am well, hmmmm, inexpensive person lol.

I usually dont pay for groceries because I have a food stamp debit card.I think I would need $1800 or $2000 in my checking account.

I think Today everyone want to live luxurious life in the place of live comfortable life where he can enjoy every thing he wants and only through money we can get these all things... after getting thing we again need money to maintain them all to maintain our status in society..

I just need enough money for a large bed, a sofa, some slippers, and elasticated trousers for me to live comfortably.
