"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless." -- Ecclesiastes 5:11

When you have an insatiable appetite for something, you can't get enough of it.  You eat, but you get hungry again.  You drink, but you get thirsty again.  When it comes to money, how much is enough for you?  Enough to give you bread and water each day for the rest of your life?  Enough to house you for the rest of your life?  If you had more money than you would ever need, what would you do with it?  Seriously consider this question, then reflect on what you're spending the money you do have.  Is there alignment between the two?  How do you need to adjust your current money management practices?   Will there ever be "enough" for you?

Readings:  Ecclesiastes 4:1-6:12; 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:7; Psalm 47:1-9; Proverbs 22:16
