How much is considered 'comfortable' or 'well off'?
Until now I was the sole breadwinner. BH, Dh got a job and our combined income will net approx $135K.
Im trying to gage the numbers. Where in the 'bracket' would we fall?

Depends on your kids ie their ages, their schools etc. And on your housing expenses.
Sounds like a comfortable number to me.

If you have 2 younger children - sounds quite comfortable to me, you should be able to put aside money to save each month ...
On the other hand if for example you have 2 children in an expensive high school that costs 30,000 per kid per year and a high mortgage etc less clear.

Exactly. Full-time high-quality daycare is $20k where I live, so with 2 kids, our expenses (including some discretionary spending for sure) are about $11k/mo. But if you go to a chassidish school that’s $300/mo., you’re sitting mighty pretty.
