No. They literally were talking about 15% of $100k being sufficient. Re-read it.

15% of 400k. Your initial comment clearly said "400k is not enough to live very comfortably". That's what 15% is in response to.

You might want to take your own advice and re-read, since I wasn't talking about developing countries either. Or should we consider Western EU, Northern EU, East Asia all as developing countries?

15% of "that number" is 60K, since "that number" is 400K.

They're talking about 60K being good enough on the east coast, and 100K being very nice on the east coast.

I pretty much agree, but I think they're actually talking about the area between the coasts for the 15% number ($60k).
