Most people I know who have it have it because at some point in their lives they were without money. If you're smart and you've been working in IT for 10 years then I'm guessing you're financially doing fine. Maybe not super rich but well above national average and you probably don't want for much. I'm sure you could live somewhere nicer and have nicer stuff but would that really make you happier.

Your problem is summarise by five words "maybe it would be better".

We're motivated to do things that we believe will improve our lives in some way. Why would you expect to be motivated by something you're unclear on.

If anything it sounds to me as if you're a little bit aimless and if there's any dissatisfaction in your life it's probably that. Better to work out what you want than just pick something and go "lots of people seem to want this, maybe that's what I want".
