That is not psychologically healthy, no matter how many posts on here offer shallow reassurance. Diversifying investments is almost *always* good advice, at least when compared to putting all your happiness eggs into one basket.

AND I think you are doing great and generally not the sort of person I am criticizing. There is a substantial difference between taking one day off and taking an entire week or two off, across several axes. I was specifically addressing people taking multiple days off from work, which is where I think it starts to become unhealthy.
I'm sorry to disappoint, but I have a very well paying job along with 8 weeks of vacation. The fact that I take 2 of those weeks every couple of years off to play a new expansion really isn't your place to say whether it's healthy or not, especially given the fact that you know zero of what people's life situations are. If I were to tell you I was taking two weeks off to do this https://www.rtjgolf.com/trail/ (which I've done btw), I have a feeling you wouldn't be saying the same thing.
