When I had a chill, stable life, I fantasized about living a wild one. Now that I have a wild life, I fantasize about having a chill, stable one.

At this point, I don’t even know.

    It is important to recognize that variety is the spice of life and that you may not want the same thing over and over again. I’ve generally shifted my hobbies around as needed to prove my life with things I’m not getting from my day to day activities.

        OP was asking about life experiences.

        But if you want to tie it to money, a lot of people generally earn their money by having a job that requires them to make themselves available near 24/7. They will often miss “simpler” times when they weren’t important.

        A lot of big lottery winners find themselves becoming a lot lonelier after winning because a lot of friends and family start viewing them as an ATM instead of a person. Regret that they won is common since it affects their entire social network(the non-Internet one).
