How much money is “enough”? Is there a point at which you should stop taking risks and enjoy what you have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who say “money doesn’t buy happiness” are wrong\u2014money can make you happier, up to a point. However, once you make enough to live a comfortable life, money can become a trap. Some people become so greedy in their desire to keep making more that they risk losing everything they have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to be happy<\/a> with having “enough.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Be Happy With Enough <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Money is valuable because it buys you time and flexibility, but how much money is enough to be happy? In his book The Psychology of Money, <\/em>Housel never gives an exact number\u2014but, he warns, wanting more than necessary can drive you to lose not just all your money, but also intangible, irreplaceable things like your freedom. That\u2019s why he thinks that learning to be happy with enough <\/strong>is critical to financial success<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housel explains that some people are never satisfied: No matter how much money they make, they still want more. This endless pursuit of more can often drive them to risk their existing wealth for wealth they don\u2019t have and don\u2019t even need\u2014and to do so in both legal and illegal ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a legal example, Housel cites the traders worth millions who invested their personal wealth into the hedge fund they managed, Long-Term Capital Management. Their desire for more caused them to take on such a high risk that they all lost their fortunes in one of the strongest markets in history.  As an illegal example, Housel cites con artist Bernie Madoff. He didn\u2019t need a Ponzi scheme to make him rich\u2014his firm already made $25 to $50 million a year. But Madoff wasn\u2019t satisfied, and his greed led him to mastermind the Ponzi scheme that ultimately cost him everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Just Greed: Why Do People Risk Their Wealth?<\/strong>

Housel argues that people like the investors at Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM) and Madoff risk their wealth primarily due to greed, but other observers note that overconfidence and ego may also play a role. 

Overconfidence may drive you to risk more than you should because it makes you think that you\u2019re not really <\/em>risking that much. As one article notes, the investors at LTCM were so overconfident in their investment strategies<\/a> that they thought their single-day losses would never exceed $35 million; in actuality, the single-day loss that wiped them out was $553 million. Had they realized how much they were really <\/em>risking, it\u2019s possible they would have thought twice about their actions.

Similarly, Madoff may have committed his crimes not just because he was greedy, but because he wanted to protect his ego<\/a>. As psychologists note, lots of greedy people never commit fraud. The ones who do often, like Madoff, are initially genuinely successful, which leads them to idealize themselves\u2014so when they start to fail, they turn to fraud to protect their reputations.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But when you learn to be happy with enough <\/strong>money\u2014<\/strong>whatever that amount is for you\u2014 you don\u2019t take unnecessary risks with the money you\u2019ve already accumulated. (Shortform note: In Mindfulness in Plain English<\/em><\/a>, meditation<\/a> master Henepola Gunaratana suggests another method for combating greed and preventing yourself from taking unnecessary risks: By meditating, you can find the emotional root of greed and destroy it<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Be Happy With Enough<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So how can you learn how much money is enough to be happy? Housel suggests a few ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Stop Increasing Your Lifestyle Standards<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you keep wanting an increasingly lavish lifestyle, you\u2019ll never be satisfied. Not only will you then take dangerous risks to achieve satisfaction, you\u2019ll grow envious of others who live whatever way you want at the time, which will diminish your enjoyment of life. Therefore, Housel states, it\u2019s critical that, once you reach the lifestyle you want, you can be happy at that<\/em> lifestyle\u2014not the one that\u2019s slightly more prestigious.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The phenomenon of your lifestyle becoming more expensive as your income grows is known as lifestyle inflation. Housel appears to disapprove of lifestyle inflation as a whole, but other financial experts point out that if your income increases, you should allow yourself to enjoy it. They recommend spending on experiences rather than items<\/a>: Experiences make you happier than things do, so you\u2019ll feel more satisfied even if you spend the same money\u2014which in turn may prevent you from feeling that your new lifestyle increase isn\u2019t enough and wanting even more.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Accept That Somebody Will Always Have More Money Than You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re always comparing yourself to somebody richer, you\u2019ll never be satisfied. Unless you\u2019re the richest person in the world, someone always has more money than you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: This might be especially difficult if you\u2019re always seeing how others live on social media. Combat social media envy by deleting your accounts or by unfollowing the people who inspire the most envy<\/a>.)   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Know Your Values<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When you know your values, you realize that some things are more important than money. Therefore, you don\u2019t risk losing those important things (like your time or freedom) in order to get less important things (like more money). In this way, knowing your values prevents you from taking dangerous risks with your finances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: \u201cKnow your values,\u201d is easy to say but hard to do. If you\u2019re struggling to pinpoint yours, try strategies like listing a few people you love and writing down why they\u2019re important to you<\/a>.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
