    I mean 140k/year USD can be a little or a lot depending on where you live.

    In New York or San Francisco for example, that’s not that high. Cost of living would catch up to you very fast. You wouldn’t be in any trouble, but you wouldn’t be considered “rich”. Even up here in Canada, in cities like Vancouver, Toronto or even Montreal, I think you’d just be comfortable but you wouldn’t be able to afford a house for example. Maybe a 2 bedroom condo.

    My girlfriend and I are making nearly that amount, we have no kids, and we don’t feel rich at all. We still have to be careful with our money.
