Its better to not focus on the amounts, as everyone has "fuck you money" at some level. I see it as something that scales based on your financial state.

Surely you've spent some amount of money on frivolity.

In my mind, "Fuck you money" is not just "money spent on frivolity"

"Fuck you money" is "I could afford to burn every professional and personal bridge that exists in my life and still be fine"

As in, you can afford to say "Fuck you" to the entire world if you wanted to.
