If you have ten suits, but you rarely use any of them, you are probably enjoying shopping more than having and using them. It is important to notice when the curve starts to level out though. Even when adding comfort and a few luxuries, fulfillment is increasing. Before survival is secured, every penny seems to be shooting our satisfaction and fulfillment through the roof. The graph correlates money spent to the fulfillment we feel from it. Consider the so-called 'Fulfillment Curve'. They all started: '50% more than what I earned today' Researchers, who have investigated the subject of money versus happiness have concluded that beyond a certain level of sufficiency more money does not equal more happiness. Currently, this level is believed to be around $75,000 a year. Additionally, they all had similar answers to how much money would make them happy. The results? There was no significant difference between the top and bottom earnest on the happiness scale. Moreover, they were asked about how much money would make them happy. Participants from every income bracket were asked to rate their happiness on one to five scales. An interesting experiment made in the 1980s supports this theory. If you don't learn about yourself enough, you'll never be satisfied because more is a battle with an endless horizon. Enough is not too much, not too little, but just right. So the next time someone asks you: 'Your money or your life?!', you'll be able to say 'I'll take both, thank you'. This summary will teach you to think differently about money, which in turn will lead to a point where you no longer must choose. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they are valuing their money higher than their life. Do you recognize yourself? People living this life are not making a living, If someone points a gun to your head and asks, “Your money or your life?” you know that you'd instantly give up your wallet. Eight hours of sacred oblivion, if you’re lucky. Answer one last e-mail and then, finally, bedtime. Or two - after all, you’ve had a rough day. Back to your car for the evening commute. Hide mistakes, act busy, smile when you are handed near-impossible deadlines, argue with your consciousness but agree with your boss, watch the clock, smile again. Deal with the intern to who you're trying to delegate work, but always end up doing it yourself.

Deal with a seemingly endless stream of emails. Hop in the car and prepare for rush hour. The alarm goes off at 7:00 in the morning.
