How Do You Know if You're Spending Too Much?

How Do You Know if You're Spending Too Much?

Greetings, Carl here.

"Sufficient for our needs” sounds simple, but it’s tricky.

What’s enough for me won’t be enough for you.

Outward measures like burn rates can help, but the real answer is internal. It’s about constantly recalibrating what you truly need.

There’s no checklist or easy answer.

That’s the challenge—and the beauty—of being human.
