I need approximatley £45,000 to fully pay off the mortgage and credit card and then pay the bills for a year. That would give me time to get my own business up and running without worrying about losing the house. That would be enough for me I think.

This is the best question to ask the politicians here in my place who earn money like hell in illegal ways.
By the way to answer your question, i remember my teacher in school days describing it well. He told all of us that we need to earn money only till that we have a good own house, a car, a very good happy and small family and some monthly income to run the family well and loads of happiness to live with and good health, that's all one needs in his/her lifetime to earn.

Enough money to me is having enough money to pay my mortgage, car, and bills, plus have enough to pay for gas and groceries, take a vacation every year, put some money aside for retirement, and be able to afford to go to dinner/movie/play from time to time. Being rich would be nice, but it brings with it it's own set of problems. Why not be happy with what you have? I'm not saying do not strive for better... but be genuinely thankful for what you have. When you are thankful for what you have, it seems like you get more, because of being thankful.

I agree with 100%.. problem is that when you have more money you spend more. So will it be enough then?
