The Schengen area has a funds requirement that is surprisingly low, and varies from state to state. The funds requirement is just to cover your subsistence in the Schengen area and it is around €50 per day, depending on the state.
But there is also a requirement for steady, well-documented income and expenditures which fit the usual lifestyle of a tourist or business traveler. This excellent answer talks about bank statements for UK visitors, but the principle is the same.
I believe that the funds requirement will not be much of a problem if you can meet the income/expenditure requirement.

First of all, whichever country you apply you need to have a job or be a student with a convincing bank account. However, some countries are easier to convince.
Go for the Mediterranean countries such as Greece, Spain or Italy. Lately, France is also okay.
Edit: I am non-EU citizen and been living in EU for 5 years. The information above is based on my personal experience.
