How much is enough?

Just curious on what others feel is enough. I recently quit a good paying job that I liked, but I realized that I had enough money to maintain my current lifestyle without having to go to a job. I'm 50 and in good health, but I would rather go golfing than go to work. I liked my job, but I wouldn't do it if I wasn't getting paid.

The downside is I'm probably not going to be buying a GT3 or a $200,000 boat. But I can afford a nice 911 or a $50,000 boat that I could use everday if I wished.

It also dosn't look like I'll be buying a beach house in CA, but I can buy a lake house in other places.

I know when I was 40 my goal was to get as much as I could , but now I would rather have time with friends and time to play with the toys that I have.

Ive not burned any bridges and could always consult or go into business myself. But I'm not planning on it. I have some friends that think I'm foolish and others that are envious.

So for me a paid for house and no debt with an income of $75,000 to $100,000 is enough. With allowance for future inflation of coarse.

Do any of you have a "number" you are shooting for, or just planing on making as much as you can?
