    I am just listening a conversation between my sister and my mother where they talk about a certain person who earned some money abroad by stealing and selling drugs. He was 7 years in prison and now he is here selling his 'goodness' to the simple people of our neighbourhood. Now, I have noticed the terms they used and I have to say I am very confused and disappointed. They said that a guy like that can achieve at least something but a fool is going to be a fool for the rest of his life. The two of them have no job, no particular sets of skills but they want me to earn money and they almost refer to me as that fool.
    Unlike them, I have some sets of skills and I earn money but it is not enough. That is the problem. They are not satisfied. I believe they want me to go abroad and sell drugs because they mentioned that if you work honestly you want get anywhere but I do not believe that. For me, love, peace and some normal income is just enough but for them a billion a month wouldn't be enough. So it really depends.

    Those whe have reached the zenith of achievement in terms of material accumulation will tell you that at the end of the rat race, you are still a rat. There is no enough money. Money is addictive and even when you have covered the pyramid of human needs and wants, figures overtake your psychology and this has a dynamic of its own. Thats why you find some billionaire moguls forking out 2/3 of their net worth to charity.

    I personally think that is never enough, we always are going to want more and more money, even if at the back of our mind we think that we had enough. Money is what moves the world and if you can offer the whole world to a human they would say yes, immediately, I guess. I've heard once that you're never too rich or too skinny, and I still think it's true.

    I was talking about my personal point of view, so yeah it does take into count prices, location and inflation. Besides, when you invest the money smartly you can kinda worry less about inflation since both the value and income you earn from your investment goes up overtime too.

    As everyone as said, 'enough' is going to depend in everyone's individual wants and needs in life, but if I had a million dollars saved up then I would be happy enough.

    I'd still keep working and living off what I do now, but life would be easier knowing I had something to fall back on and that security in the back of my mind is important to me, probably even more than the actual money itself.

    Unfortunately i can't hit to the last figure may be by some forum policies. But if i get that figure then its for sure i will spend most of the money on those families who has no options to live. Everyone runs to make his/her own life but even they don't think about those who also wants to lives.
