Money is absolutely essential ..but once u have passed a certain threshold,money is not that important anymore..things are that are most important in life to us are family,friends,life experiences,doing what you love,being true to yourselves..all the money in the world cannot bring back a lost loved one..or to undo your regrets..

Imagine ur on ur deathbed...self reflecting on your life...do u think u would regret for not doing the things that truly matter to u or would u regret like 'if I had just 5 more years to live,I could have made more money..damn'

Just my 0.02

That depends a lot on who u are...some ppl are happy driving a Volvo..some cannot..they must be driving at least a Porsche..some must go for 5 star cruise liner or Europe for a holiday...some are happy lepaking at Hong Kong,pulau redang,Bangkok etc..some must eat in an air con restaurant preferably Michelin starred..some are happy with eating ming gei roast pork cha Siew fan or nasi lemak at sea park or village park...

You can't pinpoint an exact figure..u need to find ur own threshold...but the point is..do u really really need to believe that without earning so and so a month I cannot be happy?

Errr sorry..har?
