Default Salary ... how much is enough?

Hi all

Just wondering what kind of salary you would consider enough for comfortable living in Calgary and surrounding areas? Taking into consideration :
  • No Mortgage / Rent
  • 2 x kids just starting school

I know it's a 'how long is a piece of string' kind of question, but any opinions would help

Thanks

Wayne

With no mortgage/rent to worry about, you should be laughing at anything more than $50,000 I reckon. In Calgary, you should have no trouble earning that.
