I guess almoest everyone like money. Though money cannot replace everything, we cannot do anything without money. With money, we can feed enough, travel,educate,buy house,run company, invest,do many other things. But our life is limited, so you think you should earn how much money enough for your whole life.

Right! greed of people is hard to need. If you have 1 dollar, you will want to 100 dollars. If you have 100 dollars, you will want to 10,000 dollars. Because you have one lifestyle when you have low income, and you will have other lifestyle when you have high income.

Hi Cinguo, thanks for your nice reply. I completely agree with you upon what you have said. There are very few people who understand this real matter like you. Also if they realise it, they cannot completely materialize it. So, we must be happy and thankful to our God whatever we have got. It will make us always happy. Have a nice day.

I need enough money to buy foods and drinks, clothes, shoes, body and hair care products, travel overseas, petrol for my car, insurance and bills for my home. Household bills and my car cost me quite a lot. In my lifetime the amount of money I have each year changes. Over a whole lifetime it is hard to work out how much money overall is necessary. The best things to have in life are good health, good luck and happiness. None of these things can be bought with money. Traveling overseas gives me ever such a lot of happiness. I spend money on my children and they give me much happiness too. Luckily most of my education was paid for my the government. I went to school, college and university.

we can never get enough of money, except we have built a business empire like bill gates and warren buffet, who even in their sleep still earn a lot of money. for ordinary workers, the amount of money we need depends on our lifestyles and values. some people want flashy cars, others simply want one that can take them to places. others want to live in a huge house in a fancy neighborhood, others want a decent house.

Frankly, to many, money will never be enough. Our greed will grow to match the amount of money we have. Ask any person whom you deem as rich, chances are he still working for even more money so that he can buy more houses, cars, gadgets, things and some even...women.
How much is enough really depends your expectation of your lifestyle. If you learn to be contented with what you have, maybe it need not be much. Look around your house, do you keep many things you bought have hardly used? If so, those are extra things which could have saved you money.
While i tell you all this, frankly, I am also learning the lesson. Learn to be contented. For example, if I could, i would rather borrow books from library than go buy them, unless I think it has great value that I would want to keep. That actually is also an excuse more than a need. LOL...will I ever learn?

Eventhough some refuse to admit, MONEY is happiness. In this world we need this in almost everything. If you want to get married you need money. If you want to have good future you need money to be able to go to school. The only problem is that people are consumed by money because of greed.
For me, to earn money to have a decent way of living is enough.
BE able to send my children to good schools, have food on our plates everyday...that's enough..
