I sorta went through a similar cycle, for me it was do to lack of fulfillment from my job actually. I made decent money, comfortably built up my savings and dumped money in to hobbies like buying games, but didn't really get any satisfaction from it. I was just continuing to build a backlog and buying games just for the hell of it, but decided to mix things up and request a role change.Thanks for all the replies dudes. Most of you seem to think I'm so basic basement dweller. But that is actually not the case. I'm married, have a son and a second one on the way. I have a decent job (IT) and my wife is a career lady. So we have no money issues. I've been to all continents except Australia and Antarctica. So my life is not that bad.
If it was just videogames it wouldn't be that bad. But its also toys, comics, vinyl, movies,... I love it all. I can't just part with it I need to collect it all.
I have got rid of almost all my Laserdiscs and vintage mac computers but something always quickly takes its place.
Even things I got for free I can't throw away.
Needless to say, I failed at my new role, got fired and moved on, but was much more selective in my next job. I could have floated that job for another five or so years, but that just depressed me more thinking I'd just be repeating the same mundane task with little change. Pick up a new skill or something, perhaps you just feel stagnant in your current state.
