pedro27: in certain emotions we say things we don't mean,
But yes some people say things that they don't often mean but at the very same time it's been my experience that some people are just plain mean spirited cause it is within their nature to be the way they are.
It's never enough for some people and it's always not enough for others. Those who have want more and those who don't have don't know what they want more of.
Enough was enough for me a decade ago. I have axed everything that I deemed unnecessary to my spartan living and I have never felt better.

So very true... eh, never felt better! What made you decide that you can live with enough?

Mean spirited people have to upset others in order to feel good within themselves!
I think when people really and truly reflect on life and the beautiful things they miss out on, like their children, Partner, etc whilst they slog so hard to keep up with the Jones’s, they do change!
Draegoneer: There isn't much to reflect on. EVERY THING is a learning lesson. Memory helps repeating mistakes, down to a minimum. Calculation helps with what is actually spent on the "more" or "enough" part with reasons. When I buy them that dirt bike, they're learning to use another type transportation along with other skills. If I buy that goldwing motor cycle, I have travel time and sight seeing with my youngest across the state(harder for them to be on the phone and other electronics).
It's not the "enough" part we should worry about as much as the quality of it's use and reasons. This day and age, you almost have to create the physical environments for true interaction and spending quality time(including school related).
The wide range of topics and conversation is even better than any thing in the forums because it's live and "now" at the moment. Complete with facial expressions, body language, and even occasionally, sign language.
The plans are long term but not just mine or for me.
You seen to slog for your family! That’s not about greed, it’s about love!
