A short spoken monologue reflecting on how additional income beyond a personally-defined threshold no longer improves quality of life. The speaker argues people often sacrifice relationships, health, and sleep pursuing more money and status, and that realizing one’s ‘enough’ often comes too late.

Universal truth about money. And I think most people kind of know this in the back of their head. I was actually just talking with my friend Joey about this, right? At a certain point, additional income does not make my life better. This number is different for everyone. But it's pretty easy to see, right? There's no real difference in lifestyle between someone who makes like, let's say 10 million versus 100 million. And for some people, like, that number could be way lower. Maybe your ideal lifestyle is at only 300 grand. And the problem here is most people usually don't realize they're at this number until like, well, after the they've passed it. A lot of times they've sacrificed relationships, sleep, health, all these things we claim are important just to make this additional money that doesn't actually make their life better. Usually it's an ego thing too. Like they've become addicted to making more money or getting more status or looking super successful in the eyes of other people. Believe me, I'm all about that bag, but just not at that cost.
