- a nicer car
- going on nicer/longer vacation(s) most years
- going out for more dinners, shows, hockey games, ski days, etc.
- spending a little more on other hobbies or general purchases
- saving for retirement
- paying off debts that you may have acquired to achieve this income level (doctors, lawyers, MBAs, entrepreneurs, etc.)
Overall a bit less stress about generally paying the bills, presuming you live within your means, which means doing the bullet points above in moderation.
That just sounds like a very nice and comfortable life. Some more opportunities to enjoy some luxuries, but it's definitely far from 'extreme'. That income level also tends to involve lots of working hours and/or higher stress jobs.
