Summary

Sharp-eared listeners will know that back towards the end of Season 1, in session 154, I asked this same question – how much is enough? That was in the context of a mini-series on Net Worth. Today I want to take a slightly different approach to that question, following on from my chat last week with Chris Budd.

In this session, you’ll discover:

Why wealth is not just about money
The importance of defining what financial freedom means to YOU
That you are allowed to dream
Why it’s important to price that dream in today’s money
That adjusting that dream can make a big difference in whether or not it is achievable
That it is possible to live a life with fewer things and more experiences
That a balance between the now and the not-yet is the best way to live

0:54.4	gimmick to start the show off with. Anyway, this is our season on building wealth. We're coming
0:58.6	towards the end of it now. We've covered quite a lot of ground from the how to the why, which we
1:03.6	covered and Chris Budd helped us with so eloquently last week. Today I want to ask another question,
1:08.9	how much, as in how much is enough? Okay. Now, apparently,
1:14.2	the iTunes servers are playing up this week, so there's no reviews. I'll assume it's that and not
1:18.2	that nobody loves me, right? But that's why I'm sure definitely. There's no reviews this week.
