“If you were rich enough to never work again, would you keep playing the games of wealth and status, or would you walk away?”

In the end, this is one of the most important questions: how much is enough for you?

It’s like Naval’s saying: “If you’re not happy with a cup of coffee, you won’t be happy on a yacht.”

When it comes to wealth, the returns are diminishing. If you’re not happy with a few million, would having several make you happy? Probably not.

But we humans have this bias of thinking, “When that thing happens, then I’ll finally enjoy life,” or “Once I get there, then I’ll have made it!”

However, when you do get there, “there” won’t be enough if you haven’t taken care of your psychological well-being along the way.
