Seriously, what on earth are you going to be spending £70k per year on??
Genuine question. We are retired in our late 50's on half that income and consider ourselves well off, able to travel etc.
How much consumption can two people want? Whatever the answer, don't tell the extinction rebellion!

One person's "luxury" is another's "normal". It really depends on the individual. If you enjoy a glass of wine or a meal out, do you want a £5 bottle and a burger, or a 2* Michelin restaurant? Do you want to fly at the back of the plane, or on the upper deck? Does your weekend include opera tickets or Netflix? Want to drive a nice car, perhaps a couple for different situations, or is it just a method of transport where "what" doesn't matter provided it's reliable?
All the above can be fun, but some cost more than others, and if somebody has the money and interest, then it's perfectly possible to plough through a lot more than £70k!
So when a poster comes along and says something like "I want an annual income of £xxx" I tend not to worry about whether £xxx is too high or too low versus my own situation, as I assume they are here to discuss securing the budget, not to discuss or defend their lifestyle choices.
