I used to be the same.. The reason I started a business in high school and had a few others along the way was because I wanted to race cars. Not just stock cars around a roundly round but open wheel formula cars.
I was good at it but so were a lot of others and not having a silver spoon in my mouth I had to pay for it myself. The problem was I worked too much and didn't get to race like I wanted because if I wanted to make more money to afford the racing I had to work more and working more meant no racing.
Eventually the ends didn't justify the means and I grew out of wanting to race so I just did business. However after that there really wasn't a reason for me to work as I did so I slowed down and eventually realized I wanted to travel. So I figured out a way to travel where I could still be self sufficient and not have to work like I did.
Now instead of trying to race or make more money, I see what I'm capable of. Hiking the AT for example is a challenge to me just like working hard to make a lot of money or buy a fancy car.
It's just a different way to challenge yourself. Don't get me wrong I still have constant thoughts an idea of ways to make money, I just don't chase it like I used to.
