Really a good point I found here because today everybody’s life is too much stressful. So that to become a happy is very in rare case. And though money is totally dependent upon the nature of the person.

I am very careful with my money and avoid unnecessary expenditures whenever possible and focus a lot on proper investment and saving. So even though I do my best to plan properly, I think often about the future, how much money I will be needing once I marry and start a family. I dread not being able to provide adequately for them.

Yes but make sure you have money to take care of yourself when you are old. I read this in an article quoting Ben Stein.

“Human beings are not that nice. You don’t want to have to rely upon them for survival in your old age. You want to rely on money. Money is sometimes cruel, sometimes nice, but don’t try to rely on people. Rely on what you’ve got saved up.” – Ben Stein

Being economic and careful with money is good, but do not forget to enjoy life and family too, because when you die, you have no use for them anymore.

As business owners/investors I think it is natural to worry about the uncertainty. It is almost unavoidable in my opinion.

Although, I love learning about business and investments, there comes times through out the year that you need to stop and count the blessings in life. Take for instance America, or any other free world country. Freedom makes it possible for us to make money the way we want to.

I guess the issue of money will always stress us out. We’ll always ask ourselves if we’ve saved enough and find reasons to save more. That’s why, from time to time is good slowing down a little and enjoy the simple pleasures of life, beyond money.

Think and Grow Rich? I guess in this case one must think in the right perspective and feel good about the future.

Money is just a vehicle for us to do good with.

“More money you have, more complicated problem you have”. That was my analysis for my country (Indonesia). Because I see, that they just like that. The rich people more rich, and the poor people more poor, and the markets more expensive. Sometimes, the rich people play game at poor people, and treat them as a slave.

Why rich people always become rich while poor people always become poor ? The answer is because rich people don’t care about poor people.

I have a dream, if I become rich, I will help the poor and make them not become poor again. Actually, I’m already have some plan to do that, but…. don’t have money to start.

Or, if rich peoples in the world care about poor peoples in the world, the rich should help the poor, at least give them a proper job, then your life will be meaningful, and you can make the poor become happy.

“There’s no such thing as saving too much right?”

Absolutely right, but if you’re earning a good income you can afford to chill out and relax a bit more.

After all no-one sits on their death bed and says to themself “I wish I’d saved up more money”.

ThirtyAndBroke: Interesting comment. Not thinking about it after having a plan requires you to have complete confidence in that the plan and all the assumptions will be exactly as assumed though.

I’m worried right now because I don’t think my assumptions will necessary be good enough (like average of 8-10% investment return for example).
