I like you. I'm halfway there already and will soon have the rest. I'm 28.
I drink coffee I got from Colombia or Guatemala in the morning. While the coffee is brewing, I go through everything I'm grateful for and brush my teeth.
I drink my coffee while I check my email, reddit, HackerNews. I make a list of everything I need to do or continue the list from the previous day. I don't have Facebook, rarely check Twitter or Snapchat, save Instagram for later in the day or bathroom breaks. I turn on some good music that isn't overwhelming too sometimes.
I'm a consultant/creative director, I work remotely. I wear a comfy tee (band, Star Wars, plain) and sweat pants or basketball shorts.
I'm scaling my agency/consultancy at the moment by adding bigger and more interesting clients. I have gotten out of debt and started saving money to reinvest into some side projects that can become income streams.
The end goal: to own a camper van and travel all of North America with my camera while running this company from coffee shops and BnB's. It would be nice to share this with a dog and a woman, but the latter is optional. I can save money from my income streams to travel the world and eventually buy a cabin/farm out West somewhere, live a quiet and peaceful life away from the hustle and bustle of the city but still have good wi-fi and good shipping times from Amazon.
In the last year, I've quit drinking, smoking, and meat. I've added meditation, yoga, and grown closer to my family. I don't feel the need to 'change the world' or 'be the best' anymore. I just want to be a nice person, enjoy my day, create value for others.
I'm so glad I asked this question, I don't feel weird for not wanting the 'SV dream' anymore.
