And so I want more people to ask just that simple question of what is enough is if you can sit with it.

I mean, and if you, it's even more radical if you have no idea what enough is.

Like that is very hard to sit with because what has been the whole point of what you've been working for?

Yeah.

And I mean, that's why I want to do this episode, because it's something that I've thought about quite a bit.

And once I actually sit down and have to think about it more concretely, like, oh, what's my actual number?

I can feel the anxiety spiking in my body because, yeah, for so long, like you, it's just been a treadmill.

Yeah.

And it's hard because on the one hand, you could realize, oh, my God, I do not have enough for what I want to achieve.

That might mean I have to get a new job.

I have to do whatever.

I have to switch apartments.

But the other side is realizing you have more than enough.

And you have to sit with the fact that you are, in many cases, hating your life at your job and have more than enough.

And I'm not suggesting that everyone quit their job, but it's about making different decisions.

Might you take a longer vacation and actually use all your PTO?

Might you not aim to be a people manager because you actually don't need the money and that would cause you more stress?

So it's the two sides, which I think that is even more powerful in some ways.

Because most of us think we don't have enough, whether we do or not.

So for Miriam, enough stopped being about hitting some magic income and became about how much risk she was willing to live with in exchange for autonomy.
