Erica joins this week’s podcast, and we discuss the existential topic of enough. What is enough money? What is enough stuff? How do we feel like we are enough? We discuss the concept of enough and related topics of Consumerism, Minimalism, Stoicism, Conscious Consumerism, Hedonic Adaptation, and the Hedonic Treadmill. We also explore how the concept of enough is related to early retirement. We end with tactical recommendations for being more of a conscious consumer and realizing you are and have enough.
