Todays numbers based on my research.

All assume no mortgage so add that on top if you will have one and that you have some type of heath care coverage.

$2000 a month
Live quite frugal, small home, (1200 sq ft or less) take carry of many basics yourself, mow your own lawn etc., out to eat once a week to a low cost place executive golf and walk, and utilize as many free things to do as possible.

$3000 a month
Still live frugal, but do more, eat out more, take a decent vacation, but still do most things yourself vs hiring them done.

$4000 a month
Live well but not extravagant, play championship golf, out to eat a couple times a week to decent places, take vacations, and not worry about to much. Hire most services. Larger home, 1800 sq ft.

$5000 a month
Do what you want when you want, take a couple nice vacations, hire everything done, play lots of golf, enjoy life.

$6000 a month
You can live very well, nice home with a view, 2000 sq ft, hire all services, play championship golf 4 days a week, out to eat 3 or 4 times a week.

$7000 a month and above
No worries, be happy.
