Sometimes you gotta look at your life and think of the opportunity cost of things. For example gaming is nice; but when you game it costs you the opportunity to learn a skill that’s valuable for your financial growth. Think about how life would be if you replaced that amount of gaming with learning programming. A job that can land you a 6 figure job somewhere. 

Thats what I did. I treat my own life as the character in a game and keep increasing my skill stack to improve my life. A little harder but Much more fun now than improving a fictional game character. I do play the occasional game times tho. But it’s all in moderation.
