    There’s two kinds of money: Enough money, and more than enough money.

    If you don’t have enough money, that’s all that matters. A nicer day at work means very little.

    Once you have enough money, more money matters very little. Now it’s about enjoying work etc.

      This is brilliant!

      Tangentially related, I heard another about enough money:

      When you already have enough money, do you really need 2x enough money?

        As a person with enough money, yes, I would love double my income.

        That question isn’t the best way to frame it, because yeah… 2x “enough” is pretty reasonable. That’s still well within the high returns of happiness phase.

        Do you need 1000x enough, though? Or 1000x that? I’d love a high end espresso maker, or a nicer car, or to be able to afford to take more time off, but there comes a point where more is just pointless.
