Exactly……myself and several pals/colleagues (all on decent salaries) have all given up work in the last 18 months or so and consensus among us is that (without a mortgage) something like 25-30k pa covers all normal/reasonable outgoings and a pretty comfortable lifestyle for a couple. It doesn’t matter what your salary was in that context. Hence those calculators being pretty useless.
Has Mrs.D carry on paid employment?
Only asking, as they obviously makes a difference to the monthly coffers
