<prompt> Human: Is travelling around the world and discovering new places, new experiences , meeting new people more worth it than building up your career, investing for when you retire, buying your own house and so on?Most people my age seem to be focused on working and saving up for rent or to buy a house but a small minority always seem to be constantly travelling. Whats better in the long run?  <response>: You didnt state your age, so Ill just say that some people in college study hard, then do internships while in school, then work hard to get a career job after college, then work hard to work up the ladder, then work, work, work and then you realize youre supposed to do this for 40 years until you retire, which is overwhelming. Then you discover some of your coworkers on your same career level took 2 years after college to travel the world, work at a beach resort, work at a ski resort, or on a cruise ship, and just enjoyed their life, yet was on the same career level despite your relentless work. And you will never get that time back and will never be that age again. Then you realize those 20 something vacation and singles groups opportunities end when youre 30 and you missed out. Then you read that most people when they retire regret they worked as hard as hard as they did and wish they spent it more with friends and family and enjoyed life. Work to live; dont live to work.
