Outside of a VHCOL, $200k mostly buys you peace of mind, if you live modestly. You get to build savings to be able to say F you to your employer and maybe take time off and spend a few thousand without worry if a family member needs medical attention.

Inside of a VHCOL, $200k merely helps you get a downpayment for a half decent home.
