All depends on where and what kind of standard of living you are trying to attain.

Agreed. I started off - on my own - with $60k but that’s when you could find a decent apartment in the northern suburbs for less than $1500/mo. I had car/student loans and was basically paycheck to paycheck and had no savings. These days with housing as expensive as it is, there’s really no margin for error or extravagance.
