Different for everyone.
It also changes as you grow as a human being.
It can go up or down, depends on what you focus on personally.
My minimum "made it" number is $5.5 million in liquid investments for myself, or $11 million in investments if I have a family.
I could reach 99.9% of my personal goals with this amount of cash.
There's virtually nothing I "couldn't do" at this level... other than private jets, living like international royalty etc.
All the experiences and goals I crave could be achieved...
I could get a sick sailboat and sail around the world... use Air BnB to live like a Boss in awesome locations...
I believe I would feel very financially secure at that point, since I know I can live happily on $36,000 a year if I'm not making any debt payments. I could be wrong, since I've never had that much money and don't know what it really feels like.
But there's nothing wrong with having additional ambitions "just to see how far you can go" without putting a limit on it.
The remaining 1% of extreme desires would be fun to satisfy if I can hit 10x or 100x my personal goal numbers.
Go from a 50 ft sailboat to a 180 ft motoryacht?
I wouldn't turn it down.
So, what's YOUR definition of comfort?
