Money is such a crazy and strange thing.
We all need it to live a good life. But once we reach that comfortable point, having more doesn't mean that we'll be happier.
I think you are targeting range should sound so reasonable for a balanced and a stress-free life. I'll focus on finding ways to make that steady income, that investment and side projects.
That feeling of being financially secure, even if at the modest level of life would make our lives so much easier. Freedom from debt and worry is the real luxury.
