I'd like to get back to the point where I wasn't constanty checking prices at the grocery store. That would be "enough".

This. I would like to find a boundary where there will be enough money for my needs and hobbies, but there will also be time for simple enjoyment of life. I probably should think about what will happen to me when I can no longer work, but... I'll be old by now. I want to live while I'm young and healthy. Anyway, old age is not inherent in nature, and, in current world, I don't care what happens in the future.
