Re: How much money is enough for you?
I think I could live contentedly enough with a £2m fortune. More would obviously be desirable, although I'll be lucky to hit £1m at this rate.
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

Re: How much money is enough for you?
Money isn't very important to me. I wouldn't throw away a million dollars if it was given to me but I'm not going to spend my life chasing it either. I think $50,000 a year is sufficient.

Too much is never enough.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Enough is when you don't have to worry about money and you can afford to spend a bit now and again without worrying too much.

Yes. In Canada things are looking good with Trump at the helm, and especially out here in the west where we do so much mining for coal.

Re: How much money is enough for you?
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.
