I have always aimed to have a day job in fields that I'm interested in. Not everyone has this luxury, but I have. So for me, considering I am currently in a situation I really like, "enough" _right now_ is being able to pay my bills and have my entertainment expenses while also being able to save/invest a reasonable amount on the side for retirement. I would not, for example, stop what I'm doing just because another higher earning offer comes along. I like what I'm doing and make enough doing it.
I live in a country with a general and occupational pension scheme, but I also save on the side for myself. This is not only to supplement that, but in case one day I decide to just do something totally different. Go start a farm or something, even though that's not what I want to do right now. For me, that feeling of freedom of being able to pivot whenever I want to something else is the _long term_ sweet spot of "enough". It's a hard goal to reach, because I get anxious about finances when I'm not earning even though I have savings in the bank, so that number will have to be especially high for me to feel safe. But I think it is doable.
