Have Enough....?
I want enough money to live a comfortable life.
The problems that come along with more money, i can skip ;)
You may scoff at that notion and think it’s a “first world problem,” it might be but it’s a problem nonetheless.
- I don’t want money to control my life again.
- I want enough money to know my bills are paid.
- I want enough money coming in that I don’t have to worry about money during the week/month.
- I want enough money to take off on an adventure at a moment’s notice
- I want enough to have at least 5 different savings founds. So if bitcoins crash, il still sit happy on the other side.
So YES i make serten i do not lose my baskets along the way ;)
I want enough projects to keep my mind busy.
I juggle too many projects. But as soon as I remove 1 project , A ideas hit me.
My brain has no issues coming up with ideas, ;) ^^ but the problem is the energy my brain will put forth to any new idea. Sometimes I end up way too far down a rabbit hole of a idea that has no reason to exist (and trust me, I’ve passed on many more weird ideas than I’ve started).
I want enough travel, but not too much.
Isn’t it glamorous to think about traveling the world? A few years back, I traveled 26+ weeks out of the year. The glamor to be recognized by border protection officer, in a few different airports.
I hate the idea of having to check luggage, or even carry luggage that doesn’t easily^ fit in the awkwardly designed overhead bins on airplanes.
I don’t want to be on the edge of airline statuses where I’m wondering if I can afford to reach the next level of seat upgrade-ability or the next color of frequent flier card.
I want to visit places that look interesting, but also seem safe.
I want enough friends, but not too many.
There was a time when the amount of friends I had mattered. Like its a quantity game.
A badge of honor to have so many names in your phone’s address book that multiple finger swipes didn’t even get you through
I don’t want to have to make tough decisions if two friends are having a momentous life event on the same weekend. I don’t want too many friends pulling me in too many directions, leading me to the guilt of having to say “no” (or worse, showing up for things I don’t actually want to be doing).
I want enough time, but not too much.
My mind can be a swirling mess. I’m notorious for trying to spend a relaxing day at the beach, only to be overcome with boredom within 12 minutes of arriving. .. ;)
I want enough people reading this to understand that when I say, “I’ve made it,” I’m not being snarky / arrogant....
I’ve earned where I am in life. I’ve put in countless hours of hard work, both in my job and with who I am as a person.
I’ve looked deep to figure out what I really value in life and how not to get caught up in what society tells me I should value.
I want enough people reading this to understand my definition of “making it” without having to show you an income report. I want more people to celebrate running their life & be the queen or kind of said life

What a great and thought-provoking post, the problem with Money is often what is enough I think the more you have the more you want.
I have the option to retire next year and be comfortable and work a few more years and save more, and I have decided I can be comfortable retiring next year, not enough for luxuries and unneeded things but enough to live comfortably and well, so next year I am pulling the plug on working and going to enjoy life ;)
Thanks :D I see that as a todays society thingi.. always 'need' more... Hm no i dont agree; resnibel humans with money(have taken out the low..er payed humans) should know , how to invest said money, i dont think they actually aim to get more, juuust make theirs work for them :) Do you see, reatching you goal & then making a new AS -wanting more? If so, then your asumption of more, is right ;)
So with retirement, you did save up, on your own right? see my point? ;) you just moved founds around then lol
I find getting them needs meet BEFORE retirement, is the way to go, soo you can enjoy & reap the benefits of life :D
I have OK savings not huge but enough and luckily after 30 years with this organization I will get a pretty good pension which will be what we need so it's all good ;)
Luckily ut walking and taking photos is a cheap adventure especially since i plan to have all the lenses i need before I retire ;)
Na you dont need more then ok savings, as long as its enuff to keep you stable, or at least stable is good enuff for me :) Your lucky to have hade been working with the same company for that lenth of time :D niice job :D !
Ha ha yeah, photo is a expencive pass time UNTIL you get the gear you want/need, after that its juust time/sweat ;) soo now gooo get them all lenses/objectives you need LOL
Yes I am very lucky and it’s been an interesting time for sure but now I am looking forward to a very very long weekend lol 😂
It's all a matter of choices sometimes we make the right choices and sometimes we don't but as long as we keep smiling and move forward we can be hope and be happy :)
Yes thats true, can it be about learning of said misstakes, that makes the diffrence?
I so agree being posetive, is what its all about :D
Yes that's the key word thinking and remaining positive:)
hm the key thought ;) remain positive and thinking ...
Yep that's my motto :)
