@Travis
Thanks for the comment Travis and welcome! I agree. Profits aren’t worth it if you are stressing yourself out.

Wow… you have a great site here. I think I used to be a “seeker” myself, thinking that an increase in wealth would magically end all my problems. Much like you however… as I increased my profits, I only increased my stress! It simply wasn’t worth it, and I realized that having all the money in the world did you no good if you were constantly unhappy.

I think spending 50% of what you earn, investing 20% and saving 30% will make you financially very stable.

@Bleu
I will definitely check out this book when I get a chance. Hopefully, it will be available at my local library. I used to struggle with image, especially since many of my friends are lawyers, bankers and VCs. But I stopped caring once I got married. I used to like buying gadgets and other material items as well, but then I had my daughter and my material desires stopped.

@Carla
Sorry it took me song long to respond. It seems as though health insurance is one of your major obstacles. Judging by your comments, I sense that you already have a pretty good relationship with money. You don’t seem like the frivolous type at all.

Great post on such an essential subject, Steve!

Freedom! Freedom! It’s definitely one of the fundamental themes not only in this post, but also in this entire blog. Money is a double-edged sword that can give us the freedom we desire, yet enslave us as we seek for it. When I think about money, its usually at three levels, which you have alluded to:
1) Provision for my needs (the bare necessities)
2) Capability to fulfill my desires (interests like traveling, material items, etc.), and
3) Image.

The pursuit of money for #1 is justifiable and a basic individual right. #2 is also reasonable and fair. It’s the last one, #3, that I think people struggle with the most. When we want to look like we are doing better than we really are, i.e. “keeping up with the Jones’ / Smiths’ / Lees’”, we abuse our call to duty (#1) and our right to pleasure (#2).

Here’s a pretty good book on this topic – “Your Money or Your Life”

I’m with Vered on this one. I need freedom and to be able to not fear losing my job and health insurance (that I would not be able to get without having a full-time job.) I need to be independent of that type of lifestyle. I hope to be insurable without needing to rely on a group policy and when that happens, I need to be able to afford it and/or any emergency that may come up.

On a lighter note, I was never able to travel and I hope to be able to do that in the next year or two without worrying about losing my job.
