Oh shut up!

I would say currently $134.030 per year or a bit more. It's a nice round number and enough that you don't need to worry about being able to afford this or that but not so much that it generates troubles/responsibilities of it's own. So basically one could stop thinking about money at that point and that would be very good. I hate financial stuff.

Money isn't what's important in life!

...I've no idea, I've only lived on a kid budget and a student budget.

About what I'm doing now. I'm not rich, but I'm making enough money so that I hardly ever run out of money as long as I don't go crazy with spending, and I can even buy cool stuff and do nice things like go abroad every once and awhile. And even save money, if I feel like it.

And as it happens, my salary has stayed pretty much the same for several years (apart from some tiny annual increases that everyone gets, which are just following the inflation mostly), but I don't really care, nor do I care if it doesn't really get higher the next few years either, as long as I don't become unemployed.

It also depends a bit on what you do? If I only had to work three days a week some deeply satisfying work I would be happy with a really low amount of money (enough to have a roof above you, a kitchen, a not so new computer, clothes, a bike, medical insurance). If I needed to jet around the world and work 20 hours per day in some boring (maybe financial or whatever) business I would need loads of money to compensate for that.

I have no idea. Even though I don't get paid a lot ($26,000 converted to USD), I am more unhappy with my salary because it is doesn't match my contribution, rather than simply being too small. I think my contribution is closer to $36,000 as it stands now and I would contribute a lot more if I was allowed/in the right position.

I definitely wouldn't suffer from having "too much money" though. I'd just have more money to spread around :)

Enough to keep my current lifestyle, but with enough leftover for daily food. That would be nice

That's not the line! You broke the flow :-(

I approached the question with "when do I feel my salary is good enough so that I can have comfortable living?", regardless of what I do. Ie. when do I feel that I don't necessarily need more money to make myself happier.

Well, of course if I became a millionaire, I guess I would be even happier because then I could stop working altogether, and do whatever I want (ie. move permanently to some paradise island and play games there on my laptop until I die, probably (not Steam games though, as I probably wouldn't have internet there; but at least GOG games)). But as long as I have to work for my living...

That would depend on one's current debt load, future plans, goals, dreams, current income level, percentage of that which is disposable income, and the cost of living in a particular area, plus padding for unforseen circumstances. I guess I'm content right now, although I'm my own boss so... :)

Wow - GOG community is getting philosophical...

I'm probably older than most on here. I have a family, mortgage and the obligatory dog! I've also had...let's just call it mental health issues which I'm not ashamed of - people see me as "harmless" but a bit weird :S

At a certain age, I think it's not uncommon to review the journey to date and the route you wish to follow. So honestly and sounds idealistic but I'm seeking happiness and finances play a very small role. I'd perhaps like enough to have a comfortable, simple life in a relatively remote location in asia/africa with enough to have my current luxuries such as tv/laptop/internet access, close-ish amenities, healthcare etc.

Shouldn't that be:

You betrayed the flow.

FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Uhm, dunno. That one wasn't supposed to be a reference. But the woodchuck thing is a conversation from The Secret of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

I'd be content with around £12000 / year ($18k / year), if - as stated - equivalent to inflation. I am not particularly materialistic; don't drink and don't particularly like mass events that are expensive. Still as true now at 35 (in a few weeks) as ever. Mind you - despite three first class degrees I've made less on average, yearly, so far. I get by on about £7500 / year.

After some initial investment / saving up the things I really like doing - long-distance hiking / cycling; literature & arts aren't really that expensive.

Clearly the correct answer is 100 Trillion 1792 US Dollars / Nano Second, DUH!!!! :P

Oh you want a serious answer? I am fairly content as is but could do with a full time secure job. I like to be a able to afford a bit of luxury but nothing too fancy. I'd love to travel some more. But I am really really lucky to be living in a secure, peaceful, wealthy country. There are always some things you would wish you had and something you would love to experience but I am far from miserable!
