Today's meditation explores the question: What is enough?

This is one of the core questions that drove me to create this podcast.

So many of us in the financial independence retire early community are trying to grow our wealth so we can reach some arbitrary number, assuming that once we get there, we will achieve freedom and everything will change.

But the question is, what is enough?

So often, when people reach their desired number, they think they need more or just a little more time, what’s often called "one more year" syndrome.

Today we explore this question of what is enough in a meditation, where we practice allowing each breath to be enough, just as it is.

I hope you enjoy this meditation.
