An excellent question was formulated yesterday in Sveta Condoleezza Rise's diary - about money, workload and correlation of all this. That is, how much you can work without prejudice to your mental health if your work is related to people. That is, when you need to take time out ... So as not to burn out. And it will be filled with the right energies. And then ignite. But what I will answer, I do not know what to answer. When you work sick (not, when it's really bad, you can not work, especially if you are a freelancer, you don't have to go for sick leave, that is, minus one stress clinic, district police, queues, cards, brrrrrr, how sad it is and from the inside and from the patient's side, God bless us all health), it seems like all this is sad, the horizon is low, the head is heavy. But on the road, it lets go faster if this uncritical illness - moving the mortal body in space 33 km back and forth gives a therapeutic effect. I don't know how to explain it, but it works for me. Apparently the broom is my mode of transport. Wingardium Leviossa, comrades!
But we, in general, are not really about, we are about how much a person can plow to work in active, client-oriented work without the feeling of lowered wings. And so that the enthusiasm in the eyes, because, and while this mantra works for me, it’s everyday life for me and “under the dome of NOVAT the entire Moscow theater can fit”, but for people it’s a new city. Or something new about the old city. And in general, an event, a holiday and nifiga is not a routine. And I, like Sveta, not that I want to be like the heroine of Kutepova in the short story Anichkov Bridge from the film about Peter. although, to be honest, here Novosib gives strength, and even St. Petersburg is historical ...

In general, I admit, sometimes I get tired. And yes, sometimes the motivation to agree to two excursions a day (very difficult), for two days off from seven to 22 (generally a common thing) is material. I understand that I am the guarantor of the financial security of our difficult family, where a globally well-drunk disabled person who miraculously works half-time (and this miracle can end at any moment), my mother is depressed, constantly leaving all sorts of psychosomatic affairs, two children who, damn it, how I twitch when they formulate this, "you need to feed and teach", but food and study are enough for that, and you still don't want to lose in the magic of ordinary life - go wherever they look, eat in a cafe , to gather in some interesting place (here, a water park, for example ...), and I want to buy books, go to the theater, even if especially without outfits, in the same jeans, in which I conducted the excursion, please myself with cosmetics, even the Avon segment, but it makes me happy :))) In general, sometimes I hang a carrot in front of my nose and say "it's fifteen hundred, they don't roll on the road" and, having girded my loins, I go to smile at people and tell them how spaceships surf the Bolshoi Theater.

But, probably, work, if it is a favorite (even in the absence of nearby Anichkov Bridge and other ... courtyards-wells), it gives strength. And it’s interesting to read something new on the NGS, what kind of an article they’re getting, then I’ll reach Golodyaev’s books (yes, I read relatively little non-fiction literature ... but it’s always been that way. if not fiction books?). And it is curious to plan, but there will be free time, we, children, will already reach ... well, for example, to the lake in Sosnovy Bor. don't ask why. We still won't get there :)) and there is a new center of the World with thermal joys nearby, they say, it's better to go there without children, but where am I without children :))) that is, our city, nifigan Peter, gives me something- then. And Tomsk gives it. And Barnaul, even though it is sadder. With natural excursions, it's a little more difficult - I'm still a city person, but there are blades of grass too ... The Berdsk rocks ... The Ob Sea ... You look, and there I cheered up. And fitness again, you live like this ... kilometers, not square meters ...

As for people and rest from them, in the morning I thought about it and remembered - 13 years ago I was lucky to have a rest in Sochi. I saw the sea for the first time, lived on a base belonging to my father's colleagues (yes, my father, who had a killed Khrushchev from his real estate, and that was once received by his father, had colleagues who built a tunnel in Sochi and bought a strip of land. and rebuilt there), ate cheese, pears and lavash, spent money on excursions, tanned and peeled off, went to the beach alone, sat in the inner garden, fed a family of stray cats, they even ate my cheese, collected shells, saw a dolphin on the horizon, and hardly talked to anyone ... It was good, but today, on a gloomy October morning, on a day without excursions, which means school, take Linka, go with Danka to her place, do my homework, take Linka, a bunch of the people around .... I realized that there is no, just like that, leave everyone, live on the top naked, write simple sonnets (s), not my format. When you are driving away from home, and the horizon, and you have already told something, people have got used to it on the bus, and you either dozed off or have an exciting conversation with the driver ... here you relax ... You also work while doing this ...

So, everything is chaotic, but I'm talking about, I don't know how much money is needed for happiness (well, I would like not to save up a year for a trip to Ikea for pots, of course) and how much rest so as not to burn out. I not only get tired of people, but I also have fun with them. And interesting. Yesterday we watched the first Monsters on vacation with children - aaaa, PEOPLE !!! The man in the castle :)))))) And if even more often to visit good people, hang out somewhere ... in general, there will be norms.

Of course, if I had someone to count on, maybe I would not have worked all weekend ... but that would be a completely different story. Therefore, it remains to get enough sleep, if possible, drink delicious tea, read good books, walk with the children and communicate with them not only about lessons ... and already watch a movie about Peter. Because, God is with him, with the sea, I need roofs, courtyards, wells, water and wind.

As usual, mnogobukaf, and what happened is an essay on a given topic :))), perhaps, throw pictures, as we decided yesterday that it was time for pumpkin lanterns.

Honor money no more or less than it is worth; he is a good servant and a bad master.

Alexandre Dumas - son

How much money do you need? It would seem that for a stupid question, because the more money a person has, the better, the more he can afford and the wider his opportunities. And there seems to be no point in getting hung up on a specific amount. Or maybe you still have it? No, I'm not going to tell you in this article that you need to concretize your goals in order to achieve them faster, that knowing exactly how much money you need, you will get it faster. I'm going to approach this issue from a different, less well-known, but very important side, to show you that each person has his own nut to crack and not everyone is able to digest a large piece. In addition, I want you to understand why not every person needs to have a lot of money. Indeed, in inept hands, a large amount of money can become a big problem that will make a person's life only worse. So read the article carefully to the end, and you will understand that the issue considered in it is not so stupid as it seems at first glance.

So why should a person know how much money he needs? He needs to know this in order to understand what opportunities he will gain, having a certain amount of money and how he will use this opportunity, and where it will lead. I will explain in more detail, because it is difficult to convey my bright thought right away, the essence of which I myself have comprehended for a long time. If you think that you need money, then think, first of all, what exactly do you need it for? Then, ask yourself another question - how much do you really need what you need money for, and is it worth the effort that you will need to put in in order to earn, get the amount of money you need, to get what do you want to get? That is, ask yourself the price of the amount of money you need. This is one of the laws of nature, according to which, everything has its own price - every desire, every goal, every dream, every intention, in general, everything. This is very important to understand, because it is possible that your desire may be absolutely unnatural, that is, not so much yours as imposed on you, but at the same time it can cause you concern, haunting you. For example, about whom people dream so much, these very people are often changed, and often not for the better, including for themselves. As a result, their life, which has almost everything, becomes worse, and the price they paid for it turns out to be too high.

You understand that the procedure for extracting money is associated with a number of decisions that need to be made and with certain actions that need to be performed, and therefore with inevitable consequences, for which you need to be prepared in advance. There are many ways to make money. Money can be earned, both with your own hands and with the hands of other people, it can be stolen, you can kill for it, because of it you can betray, and so on and so on. But in any case, you will have to strain to get the amount of money you need in the way you are interested in, and you will have to deal with the consequences that occur in the cases corresponding to your method of making money. Therefore, decide for yourself why you should strain, how you will do it, and what consequences you will have to deal with in this or that case. That is, carefully study the experience of other people who, firstly, had the amount of money that you want to have, and secondly, came to them the way you are going to come. You can find out about that from other articles on my site devoted to this issue. Until then, think about the price you will have to pay for the amount of money you need. Below we will talk about how you can manage the money for which you will do something.

What will you do with the money?

Let's turn on the imagination and imagine that we, although no, not with us, but with you, friends, now have money, just in the amount in which you need it. What will you do with them, what will you spend this money on? Think also about what will happen after? I, perhaps, will not be mistaken if I assume that many of you will simply spend money on all sorts of pleasures to which everyone gravitates, not thinking about what will happen next when the money runs out. Maybe it’s you who will not do this, maybe you have certain plans for life, I don’t argue, but most people who different ways get a large amount of money at their disposal - they do just that. A rare person, having come to big money, behaves rationally enough and does not give vent to his weaknesses. Such people become great. There are people who know about, for example, using fraud, but having received them, they themselves become victims of fraudsters, spending this money not in the most reasonable way. Well, someone, having acquired a lot of money, can sew some of this money into a mattress, for the so-called “rainy day”, which happens quite often for many people recklessly spending money. This is also not The best way disposal of money, because savings, of course, are needed, but when a person only does what he saves money, he does not use it for its intended purpose. Money is needed in order to spend it, the only question is how to spend it.

Therefore, returning to the question of how much money you need, you should look beyond this desire in order to understand what can happen after you receive this money. You will still want something, even when you get everything that you are dreaming about now, which means that you will not find peace, which means that it is better to immediately decide for yourself - what do you really want from life and why? After all, the amount of money that every person needs, according to his own conviction, only reflects his state in which he is at the moment, taking into account the peculiarities of his life. Well, this is how you know, when you are hungry - you think about food, when you are thirsty - about water, when you have nowhere to live - you need a house, an apartment, and when you are lonely - you need a woman / man. There is something that we really need and there is something that we unwillingly want. And we can only want what we know, as a rule. Therefore, you should decide what money is needed for. After all, if you need them for senseless consumer spending, when you are one or the other things you buy, then money for you, in this case, is a drug that you need to receive regularly in the form of a certain dose, which will act for some time, and then you will again be ready for anything, for the sake of another dose of money. This vicious circle... Therefore, people take to buy constantly, because otherwise they feel inferior - they feel bad, they have withdrawal. Is it bad? Yes, not that bad, but still, I do not think that you came to this world in order to only pass different things through yourself all your life, for which you will not have enough money. Indeed, with such an approach to life, it is not the result that is important, but the constant striving for it.

And what kind of life, then, happens when the only goal in it is the pursuit of money, which you constantly do not have, and when it appears, it evaporates as quickly as water in the desert? Maybe you want something that you don't need to constantly strive for. a large number money? Or better put the question like this - maybe you may want something else, for which you do not need to constantly strive for big money? Think about alternatives, about, say, the opportunity to acquire a certain minimum with the help of a certain amount of money, so that later you can do what you love to do with which you would like to devote your life. Perhaps you should, and then you will think not so much about money as about its development, and money will become a natural consequence of your activity for you. Or maybe you don’t need money at all? Let's talk about this too.

Does a person need money?

Talking about how much money you need, as well as what you might need it for, we need to think about whether you need it at all. It is clear that you cannot live without money at all, but in a particular case you can do without it, trying to solve this or that problem or task. Let's say you want to start your own business and don't know, so you may need money in exactly the amount you need to start a business. In this case, it is worth considering other options for creating a business, in which money is not needed for this business, or is needed, but in a much smaller amount that you can get. There are always such options, I’m telling you this for sure. Or another example - a young guy wants to get to know a girl, but because of self-doubt, he thinks that for this he needs to have a cool car, a lot of money and all sorts of other things that chicks bite on. It is quite obvious that you can get to know even a very cool girl without money, you just need to find out how to do it, in the sense of how to get to a specific girl, having studied her preferences. For this you need self-confidence, you need charisma, you need to be an interesting person who knows how to speak beautifully and do beautiful deeds, then the girls themselves will spend money on such a cool kid, just to be with him. So we need to take a broader look at each specific situation, so as not to reduce all problems and tasks solely to money.

If you suddenly do not know what you will do with your money, when you have as much of it as you want it, based on the principle - the more, the better, then perhaps you do not need it at all? For now, anyway. No, well, think for yourself what it means to have a lot of money - it means that you need to be able to manage it competently. They need to be stored somewhere, invested in something, protected, spent wisely so as not to waste everything, well, and make sure that the source of this money does not dry out. And if you don't know how to do this, then imagine how much stress you will put yourself in by dealing with big money. You probably need a lot of money. And big money requires special treatment. I’ll even say so - too much money can bring you significant harm, because once you have tasted the blessings available for this money, you will certainly want to do it again and again, but your cash flows may dry up, both in the form of a salary and in the form other income. As a result, a person can fall into madness or depression and do stupid things. Therefore, you need to be mentally prepared for any money. After all, a person and money must correspond to each other's capabilities, you cannot give too much money to a fool so that he does not do stupid things, and it is impossible to live in poverty if you are very smart, because smart man will always find an opportunity to provide himself with the amount of money he needs, or rather resources. So what do you really need - money, in a certain, sufficient amount, to acquire what you want to buy with it, what you need, or what allows you to get this money? It can be some kind of assets, that is, "chickens" that lay golden eggs, or some of your skills and knowledge, thanks to which you can solve certain problems and thus get money.

Perhaps you should think not so much about the money itself as about the sources of money, about the so-called cash flows, the presence of which and the stability of their work will be a reliable foundation for your financial well-being for you? This, of course, is already a smarter desire and a more competent question than the question of the amount of money you need, but if you go deeper, then we will understand that even cash flows are not as important as the ability to create them. That is, the skill of making money is more important not only the money itself, but also its sources. But you will never come to this understanding and this skill if you desire only money, especially to stimulate your own natural needs... And you won't be able to learn how to manage money if your desires run ahead of your income. This is when a person spends not only everything that he has, but also gets into debt head over heels, binding himself with obligations hand and foot. In general, read my first article on what money is, and decide for yourself what you are personally willing to sacrifice for it. After all, they differ from each other by the price we are willing to pay for them.

Natural needs

No matter how much you desire money, you really do not need too much of it if you are going to satisfy only your natural needs, without which your life is impossible. A person needs food to maintain the performance of his body, he needs clothes so that he can go outside, a roof over his head to feel comfortable in any weather conditions, and so on. There are not so many of them, these natural needs, and the rest is already secondary, or does not make sense at all, but it requires a lot of money that needs to be obtained somehow. A person does not need a lot of money to satisfy his natural needs, even the most miserable work of his very needs is able to satisfy that wages, which relies on it.

But I do not urge you to live a modest life and limit yourself in your desires, to hell with asceticism - live the way you want. After all, all that - makes their life more eventful and interesting. Even, rather, on the contrary, I want, that after satisfying your natural needs, you were ready to aim at the most luxurious and richest life. But you must prepare yourself for this life, step by step approaching more and more money. Don't want too much at once - move for the better gradually. Think about what will make you better, because by becoming better, you will improve your life and prepare yourself for big money. Not how much money you need matters, but who you need to become in order for you to have the amount of money you need. A fool with money is like “spirits” in an infantry fighting vehicle (two drunken spirits in an infantry fighting vehicle are more terrible than an airborne company), he will only add problems to himself and to other people.

We wish you big money

But in general, I think that you need to wish for a lot of money, not for the sake of money itself, of course, but for the sake of those great things for which you need it. Then you will definitely have them. The more ambitious your plans are, the more you will achieve in life. You just need to start small and move towards more gradually. I know many examples when people who wanted everything and immediately ended up in such a swamp, from which they could not get out. As I wrote at the very beginning - every nut that you want to gnaw should be in your teeth. We always wish Furthermore what we are really capable of, which makes our desire desirable. But so that desires do not diverge too much from our capabilities, we need to pull them, these capabilities, to our desires, but gradually, so as not to overstrain. This means that we need to break down our desires into wishes that are feasible for us to implement in the short term. Simply put, if you want to make a million, start with a thousand, and then gradually increase your opportunities, with the help of more and more complex desires, in order to ultimately bring yourself to your basic desire. Learn gradually so that they obey you and do not slip through your fingers, and do not ask for stupid and harmful things for you and other people.

Money allows you to work wonders if you use it wisely. You can use them to buy people who, for the sake of your money, will either build or destroy. When you buy a person, you feel power over him, and therefore, you can change the reality around you in a convenient way for yourself, making your life as comfortable as possible, and the world is a better place. For reasonable people, money is a builder, and for unreasonable people, it is destroyers. Naturally, in order to constantly change everything for yourself, in order to feel safe from encroachments on your wealth, you need to have a lot of money, and for this you yourself must constantly improve, because big money requires certain qualities from a person, without which they do not stay with him.

The exact amount that you may need does not matter, as we have found out with you. What matters is an understanding of what money is needed for, how you can earn it, and how to develop yourself in order to earn this money, as well as the desire to live a decent life. Money, after all, in itself is not so important, it is only a consequence of certain activities. And the activity can be different. You can work at a terrible job, but get good, or get little, but work in a job that makes you feel happy. What's better? You decide. And the question of whether, the easier it is, the more often we see people tortured by life, who have a lot of money, but who work too much for them and in a job that is not the most pleasant for them. After all, as you remember, everything has its own price. And in some cases, it is not money that matters at all, but the opportunities that you have. If you decide, for example, to become the president of a country, will money really matter to you if you become one? Obviously not, because when you come to power, you will have a lot of this money, and do not ask why, but you will only redirect it in the right way in those directions that you consider important. You yourself will not need money so much if you have power, because no power will remain without a piece of bread, while the question of how to preserve this power will become a priority.

Questions about money

Finally, I want to say that any questions about money require careful and complete consideration. It makes no sense to simply state the fact that you need such and such an amount of money, for such and such a purpose, or simply so that you have it, you must always understand what needs to be done to get this money and what are the consequences for you. will lead, both the very method of making money, and the achievement of the goal for which you plan to get it. So it’s not about the amount of money that should be discussed in your life, dear readers, but about it, about your life, that is, about what you want to see it and who you yourself want to become in order to have everything that you need. ... If you don't have money, then think about it to appear. It is pointless to think about money itself, you need to think about what brings it.

They say that money does not mean happiness. And rightly so, but it is, this is happiness, and not in their quantity, and not even in those cash flows that you can have. Happiness lies in your ability to set goals and achieve them. More precisely, it is in you - in who you think you are and who you really are. What is the use of having a lot of money if no one is interested in you and does not need you, because money should bring us closer to people, and not push us away from them? And why do you need a lot of money, if for the sake of earning it you don’t see the light of white, then what is the point in living such a life in which you spend most of your time at work, which in turn may be absolutely not interesting to you? I don’t know how for you, but for me, these and other similar questions are much more important than the question of how much money I need, because before answering it, I must decide how I want to live my life.

Take your time to answer this question, dreamily lifting your head to heaven ...

Any magician who works with the old trick "What's in a gentleman's pocket" knows the answer to this question.

Attention: you "need" money as much as in this moment You have your own annual (monthly) income.

No more and no less.

You may argue sharply, but listen to my arguments as well.

In the Torah, such a metaphysical thing as money has always been compared with the manna from heaven, which the Almighty sent to the Jews while they were marching in the desert.

Money was then always compared with manna and comprehended through it.

And what about the manna?

And manna always fell out as much as was needed for each particular Jew - no more and no less. And it was impossible to save it - it was spoiled. And besides, the manna being eaten had the taste of the foods that the manna-eating man at the moment wanted to eat.

Everything is very similar to money. Money cannot be stupidly added - it spoils.

Money has the taste that a person needs.

Who has them tasted of vodka, who has beer, who has new lipstick, who has a flight to Turkey, who has dust from renovation work at home ...

There is an opinion that:
"Money always comes to a person in the amount that he really, truly needs in a given period of time."

And that is why we draw such optimistic conclusions.

Instead of asking the nonsensical question “Why don't I have a lot of money?” We are asking the right questions.

Correct question number 1

If what I have at the moment is the quantity that I really need, then: Why is it just like that now?

Correct question number 2

Why and what do I need more for?

This second question smoothly throws a bridge from this article about money specifically to our previous material, which is called "Why is the yoke not removed from the neck?"

This is (Pay attention, Reader - for this is important!) About the GENUINE need for a certain amount of money.

There is even such a stable concept, almost a term: GENUINE NECESSITY.

Yes, money through its secret metaphysical channels comes to us in the same way as food enters the body. (After all, mankind did not always know the digestion scheme and the structure of body organs, but this did not prevent the body from eating according to stable and well-defined laws!)

To satisfy hunger, a person eats a certain amount of food. The rest is unnecessary and harmful.

Few of us think about why he spent his money on what he just spent it on.

If we analyze our spending according to Freud, then it turns out that almost 90% of all expenses are the result of the "neurosis of a shopaholic" who does not know what else to do, just not to feel that he has nothing to do. and he is not at all "cool" to live.

There are also people who immediately invest all the money they earn in others or in something else. In children, for example. In the construction of an unnecessary summer cottage.

Why do you think the inner Child of such people would want the inner Adult to earn even more from his job?

After all, latently they understand that the role of a "donkey" is not what they wanted from life when they were small, when the inner Child dominated this triad of Bern ... ...

And he will not urge him on therefore ...

They say that money teaches people to listen to their REAL NEEDS.

And for the pursuit of "invented and far-fetched values" with which we are afraid and do not want to part, money punishes us with a "ruble".

Let's write such a "business plan" so that Money "believes" in our seriousness, in the AUTHENTICITY of our needs. And they gave us a generous advance without looking ...

I really love the film "The Golden Calf". I can watch it for hours, watch it many times and have fun every time. A good black and white film with great actors and subtle humor.

There is a cool episode in this film when Ostap and Shura are sitting in a cafe and thinking about how much money is needed for happiness:

“Tell me, Shura, honestly, how much money do you need to be happy? - asked Ostap. "Just count everything." “One hundred rubles,” answered Balaganov, regretfully looking up from the bread and sausage. “No, you didn’t understand me. Not today, but in general. For happiness. It's clear? So that you have a good life in the world. " Balaganov thought for a long time, smiling timidly, and finally announced that for complete happiness he needed six thousand four hundred rubles and that with this amount he would be very good in the world ... ”.

A wonderful dialogue with meaning. It is clear that money cannot buy happiness, but the meaning of how much money is needed for this happiness to come makes sense.

Why did I start talking about money on a saucer with a blue border?

When communicating with other people, I am always interested in how much money they would like to earn in order to feel protected and secured, to realize their dreams and desires.

A banal question "Tell me, Shura, honestly, how much money do you need to be happy?" very often introduces them to a stupor. They do not know what to say, "freeze" for a few minutes and begin to think about how much money they need to be happy.

So how much money do you need to be happy on a silver platter? How many? One hundred thousand, a million, two or three? How many?

The question is simple, but how, in fact, to understand how much money you need to have to fulfill your own desires and needs?

This is no big deal if you do a small but very effective exercise. Despite the fact that it is simple, it cleans the brain well, makes you think and look at your life from the other side.

What is the essence of this exercise?

Imagine that every day you receive a certain amount of money from the Universe, which you must spend on yourself, your desires and needs. You must spend all this money during the same day. If you don’t spend them, you won’t get any more money from the Universe. So this is your money limit that you need. If you spend all the money, and write down all the expenses to every penny, the next day you will receive twice as much money as the previous day.

The rules are simple and straightforward.

Here's an example to help you understand the essence of this exercise and how to do it.

Suppose the initial amount of money you receive from the universe is $ 100. If you spend all the money on the same day, you will receive $ 200 the next day. If you spend $ 200, you will receive $ 400 the next day. Well, etc. $ 800, $ 1600, $ 3200, etc.

I hope the essence of the accrual of money is clear. I have repeated this point on purpose, as it is important in this exercise.

And now about how to properly spend the money received from the Universe.

So we have an initial $ 100. Now we take a piece of paper and write what we will spend this money on. It is important to imagine that you have money, and you can spend it on your desires and needs. For this $ 100 you can buy a T-shirt, jeans, a new mouse for your computer. You dreamed about it and right now you can fulfill your dreams.

Write down all your spending in this format:

Day 1 - $ 100

T-shirt - $ 30
Jeans - $ 55
Mouse - $ 15.

The money is spent and the next day you get $ 200. Now you are faced with a new task - to spend all this money on yourself and your desires. Since you have a mobile phone and have long wanted to buy new accessories for it, money will be spent easily, simply and with pleasure.

A waste of money looks like this:

Day 2 - $ 200

Case for mobile phone – 35$
Protective glass for a mobile phone - $ 15
Power bank for charging mobile devices - $ 25
Smart bracelet for a mobile phone - $ 100
Mobile phone docking station - $ 25

The money is spent and the next day you receive not $ 200, but $ 400. It is important that you understand that the principle of doubling the money received is adhered to here if the received amount was spent in the current day.

You should definitely write down all your expenses on a piece of paper. It is very important! You will be able to see your desires and needs, what you will spend your money on. Sooner or later you will come to the conclusion that you will not be able to spend the money allocated by the Universe for you. It can be $ 1,000,000, $ 8,000,000 or $ 16,000,000. Each has its own stopping amount - some have more, some have less, but each has it relative to the current moment in life.

After you come to this amount, add up all the money you received from the Universe in the previous days. This will be your amount of money that you need to be happy.

This exercise has two important meanings for you:

1. you will be able to understand what your desires and needs are;
2. you will be able to understand how much money you need to be happy.

So how much money do you need to be happy on a silver platter?

How many? One hundred thousand, one hundred, a million, two or three? How many?
