Topic: At what point will one say that he or she has had enough money? - page 3. (Read 511 times)

For me when you own your house and the land where your house is built, that's when the time you can say you have enough money in this world. The rest are just bonuses because when you have nothing to eat, you can farm your land with enough food that you need to survive. everyone is just deluded when they want everything in this world, the truth is, you cannot have everything rather be contented with whatever you have, and you will be the richest man alive. People often say they have no money but in reality, they have, it's just they have a future plan with it and they continue to say "no" until they save enough money to buy what they want.

I think it's no answer question because each person has different ambitious. Someone satisfies and retires with 1 million Dollar but it is not a big deal comparing to the billionaire assets

At the point of critical situations between life and death, when the person would have been depressed enough to realize that all he had been having are wealth enough but his unsatisfied desires makes him ingrate to realise that untill he begin to loose them gradually, the most common wealth everyone has is jot money but sound health, we failed to realise that fact not untill we are loosing it, health is wealth.

From the Biblical quote. Money is the root of all evil. There is no limit for acquiring of money but when you have enough even though people did not say you yourself it that you enough money to spend. Like if you have 10 BTC, you will know by yourself that you have enough money. People are not satisfy on money because of greed. Even 1 btc is a enough for me.

This money heist is a trap, the more you earn, the more you want, as for me.

Enough is never enough especially if we talk about money

If I can have money that can make me afford anything I want, I don't lack anything and I also have money to support people in their business,  support young ones by giving them good education and also helping the aged people in my area, that's enough for me. I don't need to get all the money in the world.

This depends on the personality of each of us and his ambitions in his life. There are those who dream of planting their entire land with trees, which will make them always think about the sufficient amount for that, and there are those who dream of planting only part of it.

I think the question cannot be asked that way. Because each person can answer in his own way according to his needs. But if you want a general answer, enough money for any person is what provides him with his daily needs of food, housing and reproduction.

A rich person almost 100% of the time never has enough money. It's like feedback in a sound system. The more he gets, the more he wants. And he will be destroyed because of it.

What is "enough" depends on the person, both on his need and his mind. Some people make more than enough for what's needed for their lifestyle and still "It's not enough". Ever wondered why some company top brass still engage in illegal schemes to make money even though they're already fuckin rich?

Me personally I just want my basic needs met and have enough for saving to make sure I live comfortably till I die. But even then I know that people's "needs" change over time. Like for now I'm content with my 3 y/o phone that I got at around $140 at the time, who knows in the future if I'd consider buying a new iPhone every year a "basic need". 

Humans are perplexing sometimes.

There is no clear-cut answer.

Money is something very funny, the more you make it, the more you feel like it's not enough to fuel your next dreams, and therefore you go out and even try to make more. It's like cocaine 

Maslow's hierarchy of needs can well explain how humans are motivated to make decisions based on the needs.

No one is ever going to think I have enough money so I am going to stop accumulating it, so let's say all the money, gold and everything you see as valuable in this whole world may not be enough for one.

On the other side what is actually enough, the answer can be disturbing but I just go with the reality the money which is enough for our funeral.

How much money is enough money for you? If you can answer this on your own, or write it down, you can have it.  Perhaps you discovered you needed more after you have gotten this, what's next?

Man's desire is insatiable. Enough money I believe is just more money to fulfill this desire/urge/hunger/thirst. Adding value to oneself by upgrading, learning, and growing, is sure to secure one has enough and more money.

Enough money is a tricky question.  You could say that if you have food to eat then you have enough money.  There are definitely levels.  With $100 you are certain to have a full belly.  With $1,000 you can have a full belly and a place to stay for a while.  With $10,000 you can have food and shelter as well as transportation.  With $100,000 you may be able to buy your own residence with a loan.  With $1,000,000 you can have your own residence without a loan as well as investments that generate income to sustain you.  With $10,000,000 you can have most luxuries you can think of to go along with an amazing home.  With $100,000,000 you can own things you never even knew you wanted like a yacht as well as having the financial freedom to never worry about money again.  With $1,000,000,000 you can own everything you ever wanted and begin taking ownership of businesses and sports teams.  With $10,000,000,000 you can own your own sports teams along with major controlling stakes in large businesses.  With $100,000,000,000 you can start companies to do whatever you want like travel to Mars or build electric powered tanks for people.  With $1,000,000,000,000 you have the power to control society and decide what their products can do or what news they read.  With $10,000,000,000,000 you can finance wars to decide borders and control governments.  With $100,000,000,000,000 you can control the world.

How much is enough for you?

The answer here may be obvious, but that doesn't mean that it's not worth mentioning. There is no set amount of money one needs to earn, and there's no real amount of money one can earn that means that he or she has enough money. Some people will always want more money, and others will always be satisfied having enough. It largely depends upon the person and what he or she values in life. I think for many of us, as long as we can make ends meet, we will be content having enough money to maintain a home, raise a family if we choose, and have plenty of food on the table at all times. For these reasons and more, it's likely not something we will stop worrying about anyway.

The chase for money especially in this dispensation is never ending. People are willing to go all out and do anything (legal and illegal) for money these days. The real question that i am forced to ask is, how much money is enough money?

At what point will one say that he or she has had enough money?
