Maybe You Already Have Enough
One of the most powerful money tales is the parable of the Mexican fisherman.
An American businessman visits Mexico and meets a local fisherman. The American is shocked to learn the fisherman only works a few hours a day.
“What do you do with the rest of your time?” the American asks.
“I sleep late, hang out with my family, read, take naps, and play guitar with my friends,” the fisherman says.
“You’re doing this all wrong. I have an idea,” says the American. “You should work all day. Borrow money and buy another boat. Hire more fishermen to work for you. You could make so much money you’ll be retired in ten years.”
“What would I do in retirement?” the fisherman asks.
“You could sleep late, hang out with your family, read, take naps, and play guitar with your friends,” says the American.

What gives life meaning
Book: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.”
“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things.”
“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”
