APAD：Too much of a good thing is good for nothing.

Too much of a good thing is good for nothing. This proverb suggests that too much of anything can be harmful or wasteful. Moderation is key in all aspects of life.

If something is good, shouldn’t more be better? Sounds logical. If one has eaten the finest steak, wouldn’t eating it every meal be better? As enticing as that may sound, I am certain our taste buds would soon grow fatigued and we would long for variety. What about a new car? Yes, the thrill of driving a flashy new vehicle may sate our appetite for a short time, but the next and greatest car will soon pass us by and we may feel we need to move on and acquire it. There is no end to our appetite for better, faster, stronger, or longer.  

If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.

Proverbs 25:16 (ESV)

VeryTrue!!! 子曰：“不多食（==适可而止）”。 Mark Twain's Joke 4 Fun:

"Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey

is barely enough.” he is a wise man, right？ ;-))

过犹不及，物极必反

Too much is as bad as too little.

  Proverbs 30:8-9   New International Version    

8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
    give me neither poverty nor riches,
    but give me only my daily bread.
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
    and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
    and so dishonor the name of my God.

Going beyond is just as wrong as not going far enough.

haha. IMHO: "good 4 nothing" = useless != bad thing ;-))

Good morning ！thanks 4 sharing ~ ~

The Q is how much money is just enough?

goodQ! Just enough==enough 2 live but not enough 2 waste? ;)

but both live&waste are subjective. So it depends on person

吃到撑了确实难受

Too much is also as good as too little.

Is there such a thing as having too much money?

I'm unclear about that. Could you clarify?

So， I always lease a car &drive a new car every 3 yrs：）

I think so. That is why I never buy a lottery. I‘m afraid to

hit the jackpot：）

Yeah. I heard luck nosedives the moment they win.

IMHO U both R right : Good == Bad here depends how U look at

就像半杯水，有人说是半杯空，有人说是半杯满，== the same thing!!! ;-))

not only the look, but the same tone when being tapped.;-)
