In the financial independence space, “enough” is often quantified. Some have suggested enough is when you’ve saved 25 times your annual expenses, then you can retire early. Some advocate 12.5 times, so you can coast to retirement.

Some advocate looking at life as buckets of time. There are only certain experiences one can do in each time bucket, so why not optimise these for net-fulfilment. Is it a question of net-wealth versus net-fulfilment?

It’s not a level of wealth that brings about fulfilment but a wealth utilised to bring fulfilment. Each individual has to figure out what is enough for them. There is no need to compare one’s enough with another’s. To quantify enough with just a number is missing the point.

What comes after how much? It should be how much for what?
