I agree with your assertation - specifically with regards to having enough money. How do you define "enough"? I've adopted the outlook that "less is more." I have a ridiculously low cost of living compared to many of my peers. Some of it is circumstantial and I'm thankful for being in the situation I'm in, but I also think you set yourself up to take advantage of circumstances that arise. Just an example: my total monthly cost of living without spending on entertainment or extras - ie., food, rent, all my bills, transportation, etc. is 79% of my buddy's rent alone. This affords me the opportunity to find work I like. I can easily go for 2-3 years without any work and it would have no effect on my lifestyle whatsoever. Sure, I don't have an SUV or own a fancy house, but I have time to pursue my own interests and I'm deeply passionate about the work I do (after thinking I had no interest in doing it anymore and trying to "pivot" a couple of years ago).
