Sufficiency

He was retired, spending his time writing and posting items on a simple website.

It had been his hobby for a number of years. He received a small overseas pension as a result of working in his native country when he was younger. It wasn’t much, but quite sufficient to maintain his office supplies and the various fees required to keep posting items on his site; enough to keep his hobby going. Having said all this, it made the conversation with the man at the bar of the tennis club particularly interesting. Although, this was probably not the way the other man saw it. He was saying he was a commodities trader with his own international business. He described how he had built the business up to a point where it was worth something in excess of half-a-billion on the stock market.

Describing his own situation, the retiree explained that he was happily cruising along on his own meagre resources.

It was at this point in the conversation that the businessman said that it sounded like the other was just managing to scrape by.

To his surprise, the retiree replied, “Not really. In fact, I would say that I currently have more money than you will ever have!”

The other frowned, saying, “How do you make that out?”

“That’s simple” came the reply, “I have enough.”
