    I feel like there’s got to be a point on the curve where the money to problems ratio is just right lol.

      The hard part is that point moves. I have very few problems. And insurance covers some things (supposedly). But if my spouse died and I suddenly had to throw child care into the mix, and changing my schedule to be the one that takes them to/from school… I could easily wind up where new problems form. I thought I had enough money, but I only had enough money for the specific circumstances

      Some people stressed about paying rent. Some people stressed about paying mortgage. Some people stressed about paying loan on their investment. Some people stressed about being assassinated on the street.

      It’s more of a gratitude and cash flow issue. You can stopped at any point, but most people just want more.
