I do agree that it is an inevitable feeling for most of us, and I know it is a thing that recurs for me more frequently some years and less other years. I think when there's more "at stake," it starts to happen more because the things I value and want are thrown in my face, ready for personal scrutiny. It's just part of the order of things at this point, eh? If I had enough money, I wonder if I would be as satisfied as I think living on a quiet beach, or if I would start to feel empty from not having anything to worry about. haha.
