Really depends on how much cocaine you consume a week and other factors.

Re: $140,000
i think what the OP is trying to say is you need to provide more info on what your "lifestyle" is...
mansion/1 bed flat/kids/eating out/cars/women/other expenditures etc etc
$140,000 might be enough for a single person in a reasonable suburb but might not be for Tony Montana...

Re: $140,000
Income? PA?
Yeah for sure... More than enough. The average Australian income is a bit more than £50k.
I just worked out a basic budget for living in SE Qld and it works out to about £1,400 a month (about AUD$3200). It's about £10k less a year than living on our two bed flat on the Thames in London!!
This would be living in a 2,500sq ft 4 bed rental property in a gated community of 49 houses with 2x pools, spa, sauna, gym , tennis courts, remote double garage etc etc...
Syd/Mel/Bris are much dearer but $140k will certainly be plenty to have a good lifestyle...

Re: $140,000
I don't think the OP means income. But I cannot be sure.
In ADL that's a useful annual income.
But I reckon the OP means money to buy a house. In ADL that's a hefty deposit but will only buy you half a house or less.
So yes a better question please!!!?!

Re: $140,000
This does amaze me though £70 is a huge wage in the UK, i do believe only around 2% of the working population earn more than this. So why does anyone think this would be a poor wage in oz.

Re: $140,000
$140k would be nicely comfortable for most folk but as the others have said, it all depends on what you plan to do with it.

Re: $140,000
Could you move to any country in the World with this kind of salary and not be financially comfortable?
