After taxes, let's say you have about 30k. After food costs, housing costs, car/transportation costs, college loans, etc., you're barely saving 5k a year while living on a strict budget. Who the hell would be content with that?
Depends on what your goal in life is... if your goal is simply to be a provider, than maybe it's not enough. But if your goal is to enjoy your life, dowork that matters in the world to you and other people, to do something different and not just be another number on a page somewhere... (not that youspecifically are, but work-a-holics in general)... than maybe it's plenty.
I mean - a lot of people would turn the question around on you... are you really okay with working 60-80 hours per week and basically having no time to stopand enjoy life? Again - maybe not you specifically, but people with that "money over everything" mentality rarely get to ever enjoy all that money.
