I came across an interesting discussion the other day that really struck a chord with me. Someone had recently doubled their income from $600 to $1,200 a week and was wondering if saving $300 weekly was enough to bother investing. The question itself highlights something I’ve been thinking about for years – how our perception of “enough” can either empower or paralyze us when it comes to financial decisions.

Here’s the thing that really got me: $300 a week isn’t just “something” – it’s $15,600 a year. That’s roughly equivalent to a second-hand car, or a decent chunk of a house deposit over time, or quite frankly, peace of mind. Yet there’s this pervasive feeling among people on lower and middle incomes that unless you’re throwing around tens of thousands at a time, you’re not really “investing.” That’s absolute rubbish, and it’s a mindset that keeps people stuck.
