Having "enough" isn't a dollar figure

Here’s a reminder we all need from time to time:

You’ll never have “enough” if you think you’ll find it at a certain dollar figure.

The only real way to have “enough” is through being intentional about how you spend your time, who you spend it with, and what you spend it doing. Like we talked about last time, it’s helpful to remember that money is just a tool and not the goal itself.

So if you haven’t already, try re-framing your definition of “enough” to go beyond the amount of money you have saved. Start including things like the quality of your relationships, your health, and your time. 

Once you do, you’ll notice how your net worth becomes much less important as you gain a stronger and stronger version of your sense of self worth. And that’s because maintaining a strong sense of self worth is what having “enough” is really all about.
