Yes!! “Greedy” Alvin’s *tons* of money may just be only *only enough* (emphasis added) for him to work his own charitable cause (probably anonymously).

Being rich IS an oft-cited goal with my clients in lifecoaching. When probed further the reasons behind driving the want to be rich, we often get personal values like sense of achievement, happiness, security and even contribution!

Nothing is wrong with wanting just “enough” money.

Anne, what’s wrong when having “enough” is when I am rich?

Hi Anne,

Nothing ‘wrong’ with making ‘enough’ money I think. What’s wrong with wanting to make ‘more than enough’ money?

I’ve been dead broke before and I’ve had a little bit of money too, and I think I prefer more

I must admit, I am a little put off by the author’s statement that one of his top 3 goals is “making *tons* of money” (emphasis added).

Being rich seems to be an oft-cited goal in the lifecoaching community. Does this strike anyone else as greediness? What’s wrong with making “enough” money?
