We’ve decided to ask ourselves a very open-ended question: what does it mean to have enough? How much money do we need, how many opportunities? When can we make like Thanos and go rest and farm things for the rest of our days?
I’m sure our answers will both grow and change as time passes, but a starting point is nice to have. What do you need for a happy life? When will you have it?
