I decided to add everything up at the end of last year.
Everything I had (in material terms) added up and collected into one virtual pot.
Anything in bricks and water, on paper or in my pocket.
Anything the kids might get if I died, that might come back after we bought a house 20 years ago and took out a crazy endowment policies.
I pulled it all together to see what it looked like and added it all up into one neat answer.
It turned out the answer was that I had enough.
It was great because then I could go on and do the work that mattered to me, and hopefully to other people. It’ll hopefully feed my soul and not feed my wallet.
(It turned out that I had had enough since 2006 at least).
