Fulfillment Curve
Have you ever considered the Fulfillment Curve?
The Fulfillment Curve for personal finances show the relationship between the experience of fulfimllment and the amount of money we spend to get that fulfillment.
The truth is there exists an inverse relationship between the constant pursuit of more, more, more and the experience of fulfillment. Obvious example, eat enough lobster and it begins to taste like soap. Eat too much and our bodies will spew it out in overload!
Learning the principle of Enough, that perfect spot in the FC where you are satisfied without the least bit addition of anxiety or discomfort, is profoundly powerful in your experience of life.
The consequence of not doing this exercise is ever decreasing returns for your hard earned money, and thus the demand for more and more to be labored for and spent.
There is only one way to truly know your peak fulfillment and that is to track your expenditures in detail. Only when we are conscious of our spending can we make the conscious decision of what to do with it. What you will likely find will surprise you. Many times categories that carry the most fulfillment for you will be under funded and categories you really could care less about are over funded.
Start to track every expense, every day. Once every two weeks or so tally the expenses in categories and decide if the amount spent is in line with your values, priorities, wants and needs.
