Yeah I'd love to stop but unfortunately I was cursed with poverty, no land or a house.

The #2 regret of the dying is “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.”

I reached a point and just stopped pursuing more. I have just as much as I need to coast along and that’s enough for me. This may not apply in the same way if you have responsibility to your spouse or children, but if you’re on your own, you set your own standard of living. Don’t ask more of yourself than you actually need. You don’t benefit from it.

Where do I at least find this stream of money to pick up?
Seems more like it's just slipping through my hands, because there is a such vacuum sucking everything from me, I've worked for

It's a balance. You want to experience what life has to offer before you grow old. But at the same time, you don't want to end up financially struggling at retirement.

But if you stop chasing it the home will run away instead.

Except for the rich they don't stop. Trump is actively going through dementia and still flipping meme coins for 2 billion. The evil people who rape kids don't stop chasing money. They are the ones who need to stop.
