It's yours to define. If you consider it properly, and conclude that you would choose your life to be luxury and carelessness, then it makes sense to start steering things in that direction for yourself.

Some folks find satisfaction in raising then next generation. Others want a statue of themselves somewhere that lasts for a few hundred years beyond their own life. Some folks create, others are satisfied with minimal impact.

It's all personal, but considering it and then acting on it is the core idea. Otherwise time carries on regardless and you get to the end to look back over a pointless meandering. Which, if you consider that to be ok, is also fine.
