On the other hand... My house isn't large enough to do what I want to with hobbies. It is rather small - an attic apartment, containing more than one person. I do not have all the toys that I want - I'm limited by space and money. My main solo hobbies are cooking and artwork. I live across an ocean from all family besides my spouse: It was my choice, I'm happy for it, but I'm never really going to get that family time without money and freedom to travel more. I could spend more time with local friends if I had space for board games in my house (or other things, really). I would exercise more if I had room for a treadmill as well as hobbies: I choose hobbies because I don't actually like exercise but I do like hobbies. You might have more than you can want, but I certainly don't. I'm not unhappy, per se, but I'd could definitely do without meeting frustrating limitation so very often. And that really is the difference: When you have enough of the right things, you eliminate a lot of daily frustration and anxiety that just happens in your daily life - and sometimes, you wind up more physically comfortable and/or healthier as well.
