How Much Money One Needs is Relative.... Apparently

As I was tucking my 3 year old son into bed, he asked me "Where's Daddy?" for the third time that day.  My husband works at the north slope (the kids call it North Pole) and he's usually gone for two weeks at a time and then he's home for two entire weeks. It's nice because when he's home, he's really home. He can sleep in late and really spend quality time with the children.  However, I know that for a young one, such as my three year old son, it can be confusing sometimes. 

 

When he asked me, "Where's Daddy?"  I replied by explaining to him that his daddy was working because everyone works. I continued telling him that if people don't work, they don't have anywhere to live and nothing to eat.  I think I may have given him more information than he really needed for his small little mind because he JUMPED out of bed really fast. I was so confused. Then he ran back in the room and with a big smile, said, "mommy, I have money, do you want it."  Then he opened up his right hand and in it were two shiny quarters. He was so proud that he had money, and to him two quarters was quite a lot, and he was willing to give everything he had to me. Children have such sweet hearts.

This made me think. As grown-ups (in age at least), do we know when we have enough? Is there ever enough?
