That's when you chill out and enjoy life for a bit

I don't know, but as I approach my mid-life, I'd happily trade your experience for my experience, which is that I've achieved shit all, and my time is running short.

Can you throw the lasting effects of your achievements (e.g. money, relationships, etc.) away? That may provide incentive to start anew.

Well, that's definitely true. I could divorce my wife, and blow all my savings, and then I'd be right back there I started and definitely would be motivated to find a wife and make money again.

That's the pickle in all of this though. I don't want to lose the comfort I have. I want to maintain this current level of comfort, but also have some excitement in my life, something to go after. Comfort breads complacency for sure.
