Who cares what people "feel"? It has nothing to do with "feelings". Just calculate how much it actually costs to live comfortably, and you'll find that $150k works.
You can't define "comfortably" without feeling.
You can, though. At least to the extent of saying that "comfortable" means that all your basic needs are met, and you have money left over for more than that. How much more, is a matter of preference...but as long as that basic minimum is met, the rest is just different degrees of comfort.
Read the article. It tells you the numbers, and has an alternative definition of "comfortable": financially secure.
Make sure to read before telling people what's meant.
