“It’s Never Enough” - MyFirstMillion’s Take on Wealth

Shaan Puri's view of when it's enough.

MyFirstMillion released a funny Q&A episode.

If you don’t listen to this show, it’s an entertaining business podcast hosted by Sam Parr and Shaan Puri.

The question from the audience was, “What does enough look like for you?”

Sam’s View

“Pretty simple, you adapt to your environment. You made the amount you wanted, then you go back to your old habits.”

Do you have the control to live independently of the next guy with 2x? That’s tough.

Shaan’s View

Shaan is the other host.
