They say “Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness”. I agree. But money does make it a lot more easier to be happy. Money allows you to do things that make you happy. It allows you to buy time that you can use to do things you like and be happy. So indirectly, Money can buy happiness.

When one starts out to work, they usually have a number in mind. The amount of money one needs to not work again. Its a big amount that ensures all of his and his family’s needs are covered for rest of the life. Some don’t have a number and keep working. Some are greedy and always want more.

Its a nice idea to have a number in mind. You at least know what you are working towards. You know if you are current job/business will take you there. You know you have to change jobs. It makes your financial life a lot more simpler and enlightened.

Thinking of it. My number would be close to 10 Million AED. This would ensure that I make enough money in annualized return to live a life of abundance back in UAE or any other country in the world. Whats your number ?
