There isn't a specific dollar value, but it's simply the ability to live comfortably and take care of yourself properly. If you made $100k USD/year in one of the more poor countries of the world, you'd be considered fabulously wealthy and could buy pretty much anything you could ever want. That would be well in excess of being able to live comfortably. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] figaro@lemdro.id 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ah yeah definitely.
