At what point, is enough money, enough? For example: Bill Gates. At what point would you have enough money and decide to retire, or stop working?

For me, it's when I can live a good life, with a nice house and car, off the interest of my holdings.

It all depends on how you look at it. There is not enough on one hand, but if you rely on money for happiness then I think too much is too much.

The more you have, the more you want.

There is no single answer. Each person has their own limit of desire.

I ask, because I am in that position right now, but I'm only 30 and feel that I have a few good years of working left.

You are a multi millionaire ?</font>[/QUOTE]My net worth is over 3 million. I don't like to announce it or flaunt it and I've worked hard and paid my dues, but I am at a point in my life where I need to evaluate my current situation. It's kinda hard to explain, and a part of me really hates who I am and what I have. I don't seem to quite fit in anywhere if you know what I mean, and you folks no nothing of me or my money until this point so I was hoping for some objective input as to where most of you would feel "comfortable." What would you be happy with?

Consider this:

Assuming you live to be average age, you will live about 50 more years. That leaves you $60 000 to live off, assuming you're spending it all. You could also cut back, and have extra left over, which would be better.

If you enjoy your work though, I see no reason not to continue...my grandpa's worth around that much, and he still works, and he's 76! If you love your work, might as well continue with it. :D
