@michael.rusli: How much do you need to be earning to live a comfortable life in an Australian major capital city? I’ve taken liberty to violate data from a few sources to list it out and the results are quite surprising. Do you agree with this income? Follow @wealthbymichael for more relatable financial content.
I earn $135k and live very comfortably. My only debt is mortgage and I gave 45k in savings.

$93k pre tax doesn’t bring in $6000 per month, unless you’ve already subtracted super

The hilarious thing about a lot of your work is that you make assumptions about things

Definitely need more than $93k pre tax… you should probably define what comfortable means, as it’ll differ between everyone..
