How much is really enough?

I’m sure this is a topic all of us have thought about again and again..How much is really enough? I guess its part of our DNA to be never satisfied with what we actually have!

I’m sure like most of us, pay day was just a few days ago or soon and i got mine as well.So i find myself paying up bills and watch a month of work going towards the little extra’s we call “comfort” and just like that over minutes,i’m left with a fraction to live it through the month!! I remember when i was back in college and living on my dad’s doe, i seriously had more money for myself ! I guess as you earn your own money your definition of comfort also increases with that. When is it really enough? A roof above your head, food to eat, clothes to wear..a car? when you draw that line when your happy?


Weird! Thank god, life is treating me decent. I’ve got pretty much everything I need to live a decent life but for some reason, just as you think it’s enough..your mind wonders for more! Messed up isn’t it?

I had this conversation with a friend of mine today, he was talking about someone he knows in a high up position in a multi national that earns close to 30k a month! That’s bags of doe! But then we started drilling down…He probably 2 cars which are worth double of what we own, that takes a chunk.. Maybe a house double the size of ours..another chunk..With all that comes the lifestyle as well!! Add all that up and you think he has much left?? Now how about that?!?

The question – > When do you put the brakes on this comfort zone thing?? I guess it boils down to self control.. get to a decent level.. then hold your horses!! Its good to strive to make a good some of money but improving your quality of life at a faster pace can only spell trouble!

What y’all think?
