Some people have unlimited wants. I just want to do interesting work, work with interesting people, and take walks with my dog. I'm pretty basic, I don't enjoy

Some people have unlimited wants. I just want to do interesting work, work with interesting people, and take walks with my dog. I'm pretty basic, I don't enjoy or have any interest in fancy automobiles, big houses, vacations, air travel, etc.

You've fulfilled all of your material needs and now you're in the self-actualization phase of the hierarchy of needs. It took decades of economic growth driven by other people to get your society to the point where people like you care more about fulfillment in their profession rather than food security. Some people are still subsistence farmers and they need a lot of economic growth to get to the point where they can worry about fulfillment in their professions and taking their pets for a recreational walk. Why should you get to benefit from the economic growth in your own society while telling others they don't get to have that?
