> vs a potential financial improving project What helps there is asking yourself if whatever you'd be chasing there is actually worth the things you invest/loose/burn by chasing it. Do you actually need this potential financial improvement? Do you need it more than time filled with something fun, relaxing and enjoyable? What would you even do with the potential financial improvement? And don't forget that you as a human still need fun, relaxing and enjoyable experiences. If you turn those that you have into money, you then have to use parts of the money again to get new fun, relaxing and enjoyable experiences. Maybe even more than what you gained initially. It is okay to not view everything one does through "is this marketable/can I make money from this" lens. It is healthy to do that. Don't be fooled by people and/or the zeitgeist telling you something else. Chances are that they either don't have your best interest in mind or are just stuck in the same hell, parroting the same message that people that didn't have their best interest in mind told them.
