I've been playing for about two months and I just retired for the first time. 1-30 was a ton of fun learning the game, but it seemed like it took forever. Once I hit 30, I started trying to play more and power through it and did it in about half the time as it took for me to 1-30, but it was not as much fun. I think this is so because I was too focused on the financial side of the game and wasn't just playing for fun. That's what really matters right?
