Slow Progress is… still progress?

[Pigeon.of.Paper]

I’m nearly done with Year 1 and at around a bit more that 10k, no kegs and full hearts with three people. I have no idea how I spent more than triple of my current balance in one year. ;-; Is this worrying?
…actually, now that I think about it and consider my trauma from Animal Crossing’s very emotionally demanding villagers, I think I know why I’m so poor.

Honestly, I think that it’s okay to play the game at any pace at all, even if said pace is slower than a snail. Is this an acceptable pace to play the game at? What are your opinions?

Do you feel happy?
If you are happy, ignore the progress.
It is a single-player game not a PVP ranking game.

Even in Animal Crossing, nothing can make you traumatic.

It is just a game, not your work.
No rules say you must be faster than a snail.
Progress is nothing.
You happiness comes first.

Yes, every pace is the right pace to play Stardew at, including yours! Nothing is forced on you and you're free to ignore everything and do what you want, everyone will continue what they were doing before you arrived at the Valley and they will enjoy their interactions with the new Farmer when and if that happens.

There's never a hurry.

Same response as my homies above. This a game, not homework
