At what point will one say that he or she has had enough money?

Enough money is a tricky question.  You could say that if you have food to eat then you have enough money.  There are definitely levels.  With $100 you are certain to have a full belly.  With $1,000 you can have a full belly and a place to stay for a while.  With $10,000 you can have food and shelter as well as transportation.  With $100,000 you may be able to buy your own residence with a loan.  With $1,000,000 you can have your own residence without a loan as well as investments that generate income to sustain you.  With $10,000,000 you can have most luxuries you can think of to go along with an amazing home.  With $100,000,000 you can own things you never even knew you wanted like a yacht as well as having the financial freedom to never worry about money again.  With $1,000,000,000 you can own everything you ever wanted and begin taking ownership of businesses and sports teams.  With $10,000,000,000 you can own your own sports teams along with major controlling stakes in large businesses.  With $100,000,000,000 you can start companies to do whatever you want like travel to Mars or build electric powered tanks for people.  With $1,000,000,000,000 you have the power to control society and decide what their products can do or what news they read.  With $10,000,000,000,000 you can finance wars to decide borders and control governments.  With $100,000,000,000,000 you can control the world.

How much is enough for you?

While the above post is one of my more favorite posts I've made, I don't think I actually answer the question so let me just say that for me, I would have no desire left after owning the Sacramento Kings.  That might take a couple of billion, but after that I don't think money would matter to me in any way ever again.  So how much money is enough for me to make my dreams come true?  1.84 billion dollars. 

How much money would it take to make me happy?  I think probably $75 would be enough to bring a smile to my face for a night.  Smiley
