Have a question about this? Bring it to Zera Yacob.
I want to ask a question that sounds simple and is not.
How much is enough?
Not how much do you want. How much, if you had it, would genuinely constitute sufficiency — a state where the financial question would no longer be the dominant anxiety?
Most people find they cannot answer this question precisely. They have a vague sense that more would be better, or a threshold that moves upward as they approach it.
This elusiveness is important information. It usually means the anxiety about money is not primarily about money. The money anxiety is serving as a container for a different kind of scarcity — a scarcity of safety, or of control, or of the particular kind of freedom that feels perpetually just out of reach.
No amount of money fully addresses a scarcity of this kind, because the scarcity is not financial. This is why the number keeps moving.
