I attract enough passive income to pay for the lifestyle I want.

Very few people have ever priced the life they say they want. It stays a mood — comfortable, unworried, able to say yes to things — rather than a figure.

Add it up on paper sometime. Rent, food, the car, whatever you would actually do on a Saturday, a flight home twice a year.

The total is nearly always lower than the vague feeling suggested. Sometimes it sits uncomfortably close to what already comes in.

Whatever it turns out to be, having a number is different from not having one. A mood cannot be aimed at.
