At what comp is a single person in the US basically set for life as long as they don’t get fired? To me anything over 200k and you have enough to live a fantastic life and don’t really even need more.

Depends COL and living standards. You won't get much agreement from fish here because most are out of touch and think 200k is minimum wage

Ok but the post said single people. And I live in NYC.

If you want to “live a fantastic life” , money threshold should not be goal. Fantastic life should have goals related to life.

That 200 K will become 400 K which will become 1 mil in a forever loop , if you keep equating quality of life to money you earn.

Specially as a single person

It all depends on where and how you live. Everyone has different priorities. Only you can determine your priorities.

Upper Midwest, I make 140k, and just bought a 350k house (which was a little out of my price range, but I bought when the rates were still below 4). I am comfortable- travel when I want, go to concerts/sports when I want.
