wisdom to know when “enough” is truly enough.

I wrote a blog last week where I gave two perspectives on why money is important and at the same time, money is not entirely everything. For the purpose of this prompt, about How much money we as human beings actually need to stop worrying about finances and live freely, goes to show that money plays an important part in human existence. No doubt as a citizen of Nigeria or any country at all, we all need money to cover an essential part of our livelihoods and survival.

Just like we jokingly say "I will never be poor/broke in my life", "I must make am" and so on, it is a clear description of how sapa which also means lack of money can deprive people of certain needs and wants in this life. All humans dream of having enough money to be able to afford certain freedom that money has to offer, because it simply means that that situation is covered as far as there is money.

I remember one time we suddenly experienced blackout in our community and it became difficult to stay online and make a living because of lack of electricity, then I had some money in my account and I felt safe from all the troubles as I just took some out to buy some litres of fuel for the generator and also paid a professional to service the Gen. I also bought a 20000mah powerbank that would serve as a compliment before we put on the generator again. This period I felt financially free to purchase what was necessary without having to think of the cost but my comfort.

The question of how much is necessary to stop worrying about finances is based on the freedom people get to pay their bills, feed their families, travel, have fun, dates and so on. To me, it's about having sufficient money for oneself not necessarily having millions in an account. There are people who have millions and are stingy to themselves and to people around them. Why there are people who have enough to cater for their needs.

In all that is necessary, whatever money you have is enough depending on how you discipline yourself to manage your finances, the ability to meet your needs without fear of spending on unnecessary, and be able to have the wisdom to know when “enough” is truly enough.

In conclusion, I stop worrying about how much I need to live well and healthy, when I discovered that if I live within my means, work hard at my job or business and importantly investment wisely, i would not need billions of naira to be financially free and comfortable. So, with millions you live well, without millions you can live well.
