It's always interesting how people differ.
I pretty much have this experience. I mean, I don't indulge in most of the luxuries, I usually go for lower end places like Airbnb, but I don't really have to, at least not in the medium term, it's just a personal preference because I don't like having servants.
I've discovered, over the last few years, that I need some sort of struggle to get out of bed in the morning. Yeah, there are programming projects, I can learn a new (spoken) language, etc, but ultimately, because it's kind of 'unforced', it doesn't give me the same level of drive.
What I actually want, and am working towards, is a stable home, on a bit of land that's mine, that I have dominion over. Gardening, building small structures, working on the house, learning how to provide shelter for myself basically.
I actively don't want everything to be done for me. I think the ultimate limiting case of that is basically to be wired in to an IV drip, with a VR headset or something, and just wither away into nothing.
In the grand scheme of things it's no more or less pointless than anything we do, but it doesn't sit right with me.
