What’s the rate of return or nest egg value that lets one know when to let off the gas? The human rat race seems to be pretty out of control. Anecdotally, I’d say that those with less are more likely to actually feel (or present themselves) content. If Warren Buffett feels the need to keep generating and maximizing cash flow…well…I’m not entirely sure what to do with that.
Astute observations and thoughts. I’m also on this vision quest as well, “how much is enough”. Often people try to boil this down to a single number. For me, that has not worked. So now the question is shifting from “how much” to “what”. I’ll let you know when I reach this moment of clarity. Don’t hold your breath.
