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.

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.

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.
