There are many posters who have much more e money than others. . there is no reasonable standardization scale, as there are many unique to the individual's point of view about money, wealth, needs versus wants. .
I/we try to find out prices ourselves, and then make our own judgements based upon our needs versus wants. .
YMMV

I had a neighbor in TV that had his front patio redone with hardscaping late last year. He said the cost was reasonable. After I went to look at the work I figured he probably got ripped off and paid $8-10k for a job that probably would've cost $5000 if it was done outside of TV. At a later time he let it slip that he paid almost $20k and that the company that did it said that was reasonable.
The poor guy has since been moved to assisted living for mainly declining mental capacity, physically he seemed quite fine. I have no doubt that he was taken advantage of due to his declining condition. These kinds of things make me wish people would more openly share what things should cost.
