How much money is too much money? ~

If it's more than you have?

Maybe not a direct answer to your question but I always felt that if everything is paid and you're comfortable in life? Then you have all you need. If I had too much money? I would just blow it on the booze and broads! 

More than I need.

You probably have too much money, when strangers claim to be a relative in need of money. This post was edited by Beans/SilentGeneration at January 24, 2017 8:32 PM MST

Well, if you go to the gas station and buy a candy bar for 50 cents and you pay the guy 10 bucks?  That is too much money.

Hello Randy:

I usually have too much.  That's why I invest in weird things, so I can throw some away..  In business, it's said that if you wanna make a SMALL fortune, start with a LARGE one.

For my pocket or yours?

Too much money is when you are forced to be famous because of the money you own. I'd like to be rich, but not to the point where too many people know about it... This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at January 24, 2017 8:32 PM MST

I think we have to ask what purpose money serves and whether those purposes are moral or not (or, at the very least, benign).

The bulk of the evidence from the social sciences suggest a person possessing money beyond what might be loosely called a comfortable life (adequate food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medical care, etc.) serves no positive purpose.

People who are very wealthy are no happier than people who make upper-middle-class incomes. Meanwhile, most wealth beyond what provides a decent comfortable life ends up being invested in two major areas:

1) Conspicuous consumption (people buy $30,000 Rolexes rather than $30 Casios even though both tell the time equally well)

2) Subversion of society/politics. For example, Betsy DeVos is NOT our Secretary of Education nominee because of her brilliant work in education policy, nor even because she's the best possible advocate for the education policies she and her political bedfellows favor. She's the nominee because she donated a s**t-ton of money to the GOP.

When you don't care what the prices are of anything, you either think you have plenty or you don't care.

When the amount of money you have becomes more of a burden than a blessing.  I would imagine Bill Gates might feel that way.  He or his wife once said their foundation makes so much money they can't donate it fast enough.
