How much money??

Its a great question and probably the tougest one to answer...

How much money do we need? Any answers!! Any answer starts looking artificial, when I see happiness on the faces of poorest of the poor persons. They also eat / sleep / procreate / smile / cry like any of us . Now you would say the quality of life differs. Does it? When one reaches at a level where he / she can comfortably afford a decent house / articles / a vehicle and so on he / she is as comfortable as the rich of the world.. Or.. wait !! I think I am forgetting about the brands / quality of articles / size of vehicle.. yeah? Ok then lets say once I have a big vehicle / a good banglow for my needs as well as to accomodate few guests (as if they come now a days!!) etc. with good brand stamps on them, I am as comfortable as even the ones among richests in the world... yeah i guess so... but wait!! there are some more things which i can't buy right? like a copter? or, like a multi story complex in Mumbai and a holiday home in Singpore.. and so on. So I guess money is not sufficient at a level where we can have a comfortable life with some branded stuff etc.. But are the richest have sufficient money? aren't they working to have more of it?? hmm... I guess for a better copter or one more holiday home may be in miami seaface?

Wait I am getting trapped in exactly the same thought process as we all have through out our life... if the veil is lifted, no money is enough money and no money is indespensible either...

yeah true....you will always want more...so focusing on those which money can't buy might help !
