As you said, it depends on the country you live in and on the level you reached; as for me a pro plays all ( or at least the most important ) EPT tournaments and needs lot of cash to finance himself. Differently if you have a sponsor, as Doomdy for sure has
I think the life of a poker pro seems alot more glamorous than it actually is. I mean with my small "just for fun" bankroll when i have one of those -5 or 6 BI days i feel so sick lol cant actually imagine losing money that would mean the difference between living a good comfortable month or not, downswings would just make u feel like s**t lol. But 5k+ is solid, one of my uncles friends was making 15-20k on really good months playing HU on FTP & he said he was very very comfortable.... until he gets his hit of variance and has a sick -$30k downswing and then we dont see him for months lol

100K grind 7,5K each month. Everything lower isn't really 'the good life'.
Still need to keep in mind that you can have downswings, but I think you know how worse those can get by now. It depends on your style of play, but when you are a winning player, it doesn't really matter.
I hope you can make it to semi-pro soon, would be awesome!

Voted for 7.5K$ a month, if you dont get this, you can be in serious problems if you tilt or run bad. Also, you need to work for when youre sick and so on because you have no insurance
