That's the core issue of the so-called American Dream: people always need more, want more, and think they're too good for what they have. I have dreams too, I think devoting time and effort to what you're good at is the proper way to not look back and think you wasted years on something you just did for a salary. Everything in life comes with a price. Also. what I found out since I realised what I do probably won't make you rich ist be grateful for what you have and focus on experiences instead of material possessions.
