The Tipping Point
Once someone’s “basic needs are met and modern conveniences are acquired, the cycle of "want" simply begins again. Instead of being satisfied with reaching this ideal income, people began clamouring for meaning in more material pursuits, or by comparisons to newly and nearly attainable - but still out of reach - social classes”
Andrew Jebb “Happiness, income satiation and turning points around the world”

Prayer of Commitment
God has blessed me.
With more than I need.
I am rich.
But I will not trust in my riches.
But in Him who richly provides.
Because I have more,
I will give more, and do more.
