    Great article! So true...we put too much emphasis on money...we should decide how much is enough and move on to living life from there

    Very interesting indeed. He's seems like kind of an extremist of frugality. I agree about money. I've never sat down and decided how much is enough. I do want more. I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting more money though. There are a lot of things I couldn't do on only $40,000 a year. I also think more money affords us more opportunities to do more for others so more isn't necessarily bad imo.

    My fav part was~
    "One of the things that blows me away is most Americans have never asked themselves, 'What's enough money?' " he said. "Most Americans just want more. We need to spend less time buying stock and more time taking stock."

    Good for him!

    The more you make, the more you spend, thus you still need even more...

    No mention of kids. I could live on 40,000 with no mortgage and no kids in Ohio no less. No sweat!
