Think & Discuss – Defining "Enough"

About this event

During this meetup we're having an open discussion format (even more so than usual), with a suggestion of Defining "Enough" to spur discussion if needed.

Investopedia Article – “How Can I Define ‘Enough’ In My Financial Life?”

Some AI-assisted topics:

• What does “enough” represent for you? Has that changed over time?

• Do you think people tend to overshoot or undershoot their real “enough” number?

• How much would you have to pad your “enough” number for the unknown – e.g., healthcare, market downturns, longevity, etc.

• Does your "enough" number include leaving something behind for kids/charity, or is it purely self-focused?

• If you already have "enough," does anything change about how you think about continuing to work?

See the Google Sheets list of past, present, and future meeting books / topics here if interested. We also have a Google Doc here with some details / descriptions of upcoming meetings.

Please note that everything listed in both of those is tentative – nothing is final until the event is scheduled, since we take in suggestions during meetings.

Some more general notes about the book club:

• We rotate through different types of books, with some covering historical or current events and others more along the lines of practical advice about how to do something.

• No specific ideas are necessarily endorsed – we try to read a variety of topics to expose ourselves to new ideas and ways of thinking.

• We try to grab the room to the back-right of Fortnight Brewing Company's main inside seating area (coming in the door on the front of the building, facing Maynard Road), but will get a table nearby if the room isn't available.

• No worries about coming in mid-discussion ― we usually manage to get off-topic anyways ― and feel free to come even if you didn't manage to finish the book. Also, no shame if you listen to it on Audible!
