maybe the secret is not attaching happiness to "cash".... separating accomplishment from the process of achieving... doing just to do, not because you have to, but because it's the process...
For now I would be happy with somewhere around $1k/mo. But in general I think $2k-3k would be enough for me.
If you get a million after a couple of months you will want more to keep up your lifestyle, the same applies for 10million, whatever the amount. It's because people are obsessed about money when it doesn't make happiness.
I would be happy with enough to pay the bills each week and buy groceries and those little things that make life fun. Depending on my mood that could be anything from $500 to $20,000 a week, so as you can see I have learned that it is easier to just make do with what you have and keep working for the financial freedom I am sure we all dream of - and of course I always buy a lottery ticket once a week - you can't ask the universe to give you a miracle if you don't provide the forum for them to give it too you Lisa
