What is the difference between enough, more than enough (abundance) and too much? Sometimes it’s hard to tell. When I think about it in terms of food rather than money, it gets a little easier.
I now have too much Jasmine rice. When I shopped today, without a list, I remembered an almost-empty canister after I prepared dinner last night. I saw a 3-pound package and bought it. Oops! When I tried to put it away, the space was filled with an identical bag.
Now I have 6 pounds of rice which I will eventually use, but I need to find space for a 3-pound bag of rice I won’t need for several months. The empty container and the bag in my pantry were more than enough, which is my pantry management goal.
I like having a backup of things I use regularly. That feels abundant to me. Just enough of perishable items is OK, but I don’t like experiencing scarcity when I run out of something I need.
So, enough is what I need now. Abundance is more than enough for now and later, so I have what I need plus some extra depending on circumstances. (Some people like to buy in bulk and shop infrequently.) Too much either spoils or needs to be stored.
Apply this measure to any part of your life. Clothes, cars, sports equipment, electronic devices etc. can all be evaluated this way. Read Embrace Prosperity for more suggestions.
