Being Satisfied.

So what if you're satisfied with what you have? You're not dying to be the next Donald Trump? You have enough units to make life comfortable, and they're not a burden? You have other interests in life, not just RE, RE, RE...?

I don't know, that's where I feel I am right now. I've enough to help out, but not so much to be a burden. I realize the number of units varies for each individual, but I think you know what I mean.

Anyone else not interested in chasing the RE carrot that's tied to the stick on your head?

IMO, being satisfied is one of the biggest keys to happiness. If you've reached a place in your life where you can go "hey, this is nice- this works for me" then you've achieved something that many people never will, even though they keep chasing and chasing.

Also, being satisfied doesn't mean you'll automatically stop growing (in real estate or otherwise). Sometimes the best things fall in your lap when you stop looking for them.
