Spaw:

You should take stock of what you have and what you need. A lot of people thaty think they don't have enough money actually do. They just don't realize it.

Somebody came to me recently wanting help with a scheme that he was certain would make him rich. It was a dubious and difficult plan and I did not participate. I didn't need tha money enough to violate my ethics. I found out this guy owned five houses. I told him that he was already rich and didn't know it.

This is true of other people that own a lot less. Which brings me to another question that I constantly ask myself and others:

How much is "Enough"? It seems that we all are working toward the time that we will have "Enough" and we won't have to worry anumore.

So how do you determine how much is "Enough"? It seems to me that the lower you set that goal, the happier you will be instead of the other way around.
