I went back to it to read your comment where you talked about having too much and working on getting rid of things. You also said you would write on the subject at some point. This post definitely relates; maybe you've written others, too, that maybe I've missed.<br />I find it helpful to ponder the "stuff" question and the "minimalist" movement. It is helping me with limiting the control that "stuff" has over me.

No...I wish there were enough. In this world, sometimes it just feels overwhelming. That's the sad state of how the top one-percent affect the working poor. When there's not enough, you can't even enjoy the "what is" because you miss it while you're working. Nice post!

If it is needed to pay off obligations or put food on the table, that's good. Yes, there can be occassional splurges but if it gets us into debt, that's not good.

I don't mind having it one bit :-) But i know my riches are not money.<br /><br />It bothers me when people are not responsible with finances. I make no apology for earning money and I when I can I will spend it as I wish. But earn is an operative word because it gives more than anything material: earning gives responsibility and pride.<br /><br />And what matters most?
