RESEARCH - Comfortable Living Costs of Worldwide Cities

Hello fellow ATSers, I am looking to do some research on living costs for some of the worlds most globalised Cities. Please if you are from one of the below Cities please reply and let us know in US dollars for continuity what you deem as the minimum income to live comfortably be it as a single person or a family but please state which. Also you can provide further details if you so wish and do not worry if somebody has already reported your city as the more that feedback the more accurate the result.

Ok as I am from near london I will start off with that one.

As a single I believe the minimum wage to live comfortably and in your own place is £40,000 (US$64,200)

As a family (of 4) I believe a combined income of £60,000 (US$96,300)

West Yorkshire, Leeds I'd say around 30k for a single person and around 40-45k for family.

Nice car, mortgage, 2 holidays a year and such. I just base this on been able to live a life without worrying about money and budgeting, allowing you to buy the nice things and live a nice life.

Montreal, if you're single you can live with 30000$, a family more around 50000$

Is that USD or Canadian?

Thanks for input so far those that have replied.

Sorry, that was canadian, but they have almost the same value today...

Canada:
single person can get by on 18000$... assuming you live in an aparment and don't eat too fancy.

35000-40000 per year income for a crap house

60000$ for a decent house
