BLOG: How Much Money is Enough
There’s no hard-and-fast number that’s “enough” for everyone. The key is to figure out what “enough” is for you and your family. Want to get a ballpark number? Here’s a simple formula:

If that number doesn’t align with your income, you can cut back on your spending and/or look for ways to boost your income.
