We have very different views of "very comfortably" living.
For reference, the amount you have remaining every month after paying rent is close to what I end up averaging on vacation! And I definitely don't think I live a very comfortable lifestyle. (My vacations aren't even that nice - we rent budget cars, fly max economy flights, almost always stay in the bottom 25% of AirBNBs in cost, and almost always eat at $-$$ restaurants) Compared to most Americans - clearly, I spend more on vacation. Compared to my SF Bay Area peers - I spend nothing.
