How much would one need to make to afford a $600k home and this lifestyle?


Let's assume they're a married couple with no kids. Roughly how much would their annual gross household income need to be to afford this lifestyle?

- $600k home in the midwest (30 year fixed mortgage at 4 percent interest rate and 20 percent down)

- Drive a Corvette Stingray (about $50k), Mercedes E Class ($35k), and Range Rover ($45k), changed every four years.

- Spend about $10k annually on vacations in Europe or South America

- Each person spends $10k per year on clothes, entertainment, gifts, charity, misc., etc. So $20k total.

- Each person maxes out their 401k's, so $36k total

- Save about $15k annually every year
