The only thing I think a lot about is advancing at work and saving up for a bigger home.

Whenever I stop up to appreciate both my current working and living conditions, I’m happy for that period of time.

Yet, if I’m content, I’ll never live somewhere else doing something harder. I’d rather be a little unhappier always if I can think of ways to advance in the minigames I favor.

I think most of us are hard wired to progress - progression looks different for each of us but matters all the same.

I've also had side quests in addition to my main quest which is financial stability and the extreme and total control of my circumstances. Side quests are hobbies, friendships, fitness targets etc.
