Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I hit the number I once thought would feel like enough and it just didn’t
• I keep telling myself I’ll feel okay once I hit the next number
• If you asked me what number or what life would actually be "enough," I’d realize I’ve never once put it into words
• Every time I earn more I somehow spend more, and the finish line where I’d finally feel I have enough just keeps sliding further away
• I actually hit the number I said I needed, and instead of feeling free I just keep telling myself "one more year to be safe"
