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.

I love this line from a 2024 TV show called "The Gentlemen" and I think about it a lot:
"It’s a lucky man who is happy with his place in life"

TL;DR: don't be greedy, guaranteed a lot now is better than highly unlikely more in the future
AKA quit while you're ahead
One perhaps (cynical) view is that CEOs with business background are basically just arbitraging between investors and product teams.
Yes! That’s exactly what we’re doing. It’s not as easy as it sounds.

I was going to say the opposite. Seems on all the main news outlets (Financial Times et al) have disabled comments. I was happy to see this being discussed on HN and I’ve yet to see Middle East or Trump being censored but happy to be signposted to evidence of this on HN.
