Serious Question: Is This Enough?

The day I am capable of buying things I desire without looking at price tag, that day its enough for me.

But, the sad truth is you wouldn't see such a day in your entire life. When you get enough money to purchase a RR car, your desire wouldn't be the same. You will target the next bigger thing, and it goes on.

For me enough is when I'll be able to invest in multiple real estate properties that will generate guaranteed monthly income that is enough to live a nomad life in any country in the world. for example, if I make 10k$ a month from something like real estate which is somehow low risk/guaranteed money I'll stop worrying about money. I might use the extra money to help other people
 
Do what you enjoy most instead of lurking online. When you do that, you'll do it better and better. And eventually you get paid for that.

I dont bother with the lounge much these days, dont need the stress anymore. Drs orders

i did my time working online. now its over. i first came online 1997 age 28 running
56k dial up who remembers a JPEG taking 5mins to download , those where the days.
2002 i started getting into proxys running various forums, groups up until 2012.

in 2007 i joined bhw but due to the people i left behind when i did, [ hackers ]
my bhw account was hacked, fckem, anyways from 2009/2020 i sold proxys on
bhw on 5 sales threads.

11 years and 0 refunds later 1 day i woke up and threw in the towel, ide had enough.
why was this........life beat me down until ide had enough. and i decided to put
me and the wife first instead. what beat me down ?

2014/22, i lost mom/dad/step mom/aunt/ brother/ uncle/niece/ wifes daughters husband .

What are you going to do after making enough money?

I'd like to major in marine biology at some prestigious university and after graduation, I'd go to some research center on some island and spend there a few couple years learning marine life.

There are so many incredibly interesting things to learn, but unfortunately, as a marine biologist, astrophysicist, or anthropologist you cannot feed your family here where I'm from. You have no option but to become a salesman, or lawyer, or learn 3d modeling/coding stuff to be able to properly take care of your family.

WIth like nearly everthing in live it's the balance. don't be extremist neither a minimalist. You can take this on everything in live: Sport,alcohol, partys and also money.

If you wish a nice car: work for it, buy one that is a allrounder, fast but also luxury and spaceous and leave it by one. Same with watches for example: you want a nice watch, work for it, choose one that is a good allrounder, classic but also a little sporty and stay with one. With this method you can enjoy your stuff more. Because there will always be a faster, better nicer thing. Get something that you like overall and stay with it :)

A very important tip that i like is: On this journey of making money online always have fun beside doing it! Laugh with the people you are working with, have fun. Make the journey enojable :)
 
The responses here are interesting. Shows that "enough" is different for every single person.

For me, I really don't care about having a family or any of the normal things associated with the average life (not that there's anything wrong with it if that makes you happy). I care about reaching my personal goals and focusing 100% on myself and that's it.

I know myself well enough that no amount of money will ever be satisfactory for me. I want all of it.

But that doesn't mean I can't have fulfillment, because to me it's all about the pursuit of the next target. That's what keeps me going. And one thing I have learned recently from guys like Andrew Huberman is that dopamine is released when you're in pursuit of a goal; it's not just about the final destination. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. I would never want to inherit wealth or win the lottery or any of that nonsense. If I didn't earn it, it's vacuous to me.

There seems to be some bizarre ideology in society that we're not supposed to admit how much we love having/working to attain obscene wealth, or we get excoriated for being "materialistic" (I'm confident that's just their envy talking). I love expensive, luxurious shit and I'll say that proudly. It's a major part of my ambition, and without it, I personally couldn't find fulfillment in life. Cars, watches, clothes, planes, helicopters, a fucking submarine, investment property all over the world, I'm going for it all and I don't give myself the option to not obtain it. Any distractions like a family/kids would just get in my way, and I would resent them, so it doesn't even cross my mind.

Yes, we all are in different ages also, for example; I was more hungry for money when I was 25 than I am today in my mid 50th since I changed with age on how I see life, and what I think is important nowadays. It is just how it is, there is no right or wrong way of thinking in this.

Yeah I agree with that. You have a good outlook on things it sounds like.

It's really all about self-awareness. If someone gets to a certain stage of life and their goals/desires change, it's important to recognize that and adapt instead of trying to force something to happen that you no longer care about.

I think more people would have fulfillment in life if they just listened to what their own mind/instinct is telling them in general instead of doing what society tells them they "have to do."

Maybe I'll get to a point where I don't care as much about the things I do, but so far the drive for wealth has only become stronger as I've achieved more success and gotten older, so it seems to just be feeding itself at this point.
 
"Too much money ain't enough money." -- Lil' Wayne

In all seriousness, I often contemplate on how much money would be "enough" for me.
To answer honestly, I'd have to see it in terms of residual income -- enough to comfortably relocate to and comfortably live in a country I've always wanted to live in. All my expenses would be covered, and I'd have plenty of cash to enjoy life to the standards in which I'd want to live. These things are all largely relative, from person to person, but for me, it's when I no longer feel the need to worry about financial woes, and rather, I can just live my life.
 
I am not interested in money itself.
Not even about buying lots of things.
I work because otherwise, I would get bored.
I enjoy what I do and have always had (mostly) - never had a boss telling me what to do.
Besides this, a couple of pina coladas at the end of the day are a reward good enough to keep on enjoying my life.

You have a clear idea of what you do and what you wish to do. It's really important to have that vision to live life pleasantly.

It clearly shows that even though we're in the same community, our perspectives on life differ from person to person.
