$150k/year. Enough to afford the house I'm in and still have enough left to not have to worry about being short on any recurring bills. Note: I'm in California. Most other states and id be fine at 90-100k.

I could make what I have now if I just had a single family home with an acre for my kids to live in when I’m dead. That’s it.

Enough that I'm not completely broke before my next paycheck.
Seriously, that's all it would take for me to be happy, a little bit of disposable income.

>5k gross

140k lets me start getting ahead properly and even start thinking about retirement.

200K so I'd be able to purchase a decent flat

The one I'm on is fine. I dont need more money to be happy. Safety and security matters a shitload more than material stuff, and unfortunately money doesnt guarantee those without a bunch of other lifestyle compromises
