When Is It Enough?

Oct 26

How do you know when you have enough? One of the toughest skills in life is getting the goalpost to stop moving. Comparing ourselves to where others are is often the issue because there is always someone higher on the ladder. Having enough doesn’t mean you have to go without. Instead, it means you know how to appreciate what you have without constantly searching for more. So, in this episode, we will be discussing the third chapter of The Psychology of Money, titled “Never Enough,” and explaining how to find happiness in what you have.

Listen in as we describe why you should never risk the necessary things in life for things that are not necessary, regardless of how exciting it may be, and why social comparison is a very slippery slope. You will learn the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, finding what is invaluable to you and doing what truly brings you happiness.
