5-6k - but that is for a family of four. So per person it's <1500 per person.... But we all know there is economy of scale... 4 live together cheaper, than they would separately... But then again 2 of the 4 are teenage boys - so our grocery bills are horrendous.
I guess all this is to show that the data, in the form you asked it, is kind of useless.
I suspect if it were just DH and me we'd be comfortable with $4k/month... and that would allow for lots of travel.
Looks like the median is roughly around $7,000/month or so. I guess that is about what I expected.I thought they would skew higher after reading various member introduction posts.
This I assume is for a couple?
One useful thing I learnt while a student was to read the question very carefully.
First post here, Great site! 3k to 4k for me, I try and live fairly simple.
$5K per month is more than enough. I'm surprised (just a little) that more than 50% of responses are higher.

Unless you have healthcare provided without direct cost. Hence my question about imputed income.Consider healthcare expenses (without subsidies) for two, and a decent travel budget, and you start getting up there.
I am really not sure what people hope to learn from a poll like this? Other than there is a wide distribution of incomes, just like everywhere else? Nonetheless, looks like the top choice is too low given the distribution so far.
They were probably thinking, "desired monthly income? Oh yeah, that's going to be high...."

Even the poll title says “see text of post”, but it is only human nature to not read instructions.
My wife assures me that I am the world’s worst at not reading a manual or instructions.

I would love to see lifestyle details of the $20K/month club. How many homes? How big are they? Which travel/tour companies do you use? What are your indulgences?
None of my business, I know, but it would be fun to know

On this site, absolutely.Would very likely cause a fair bit of negative feedback for such a poster.
My initial interpretation of "desired income" means infinity.So why wouldn't I desire > $20,000 per month? IMO, any other response lacks imagination!
depends - mortgage and real estate taxes can be close to $5K a month easy
