> I don't need nice cars, yachts, mansions or expensive friends. I want to be able to rent in a reasonably pleasant place, and then have the rest of my life to pursue what keeps me interested.

That's what I always wanted. Enough that I never did anything long enough to get hugely wealthy from it. But hey, I still get to spend the rest of my life playing. I'm not sure that I'd recommend it as a career choice, but it's been interesting.
