It...is...not...your...gold.

It is an accounting entry in game that you can use to trade for something else.

If FM closed up shop tomorrow, they took down their servers, then forced Apple, Google and Amazon to remove the game from all devices... all things that they can do, because I have seen it done with other apps, you would have... wait for it... NOTHING.

They own everything. It is not yours, it is theirs and you get to use it and the game at their convenience and whim.

Stop hording it, stop thinking it is yours, use it to do things in the game that you enjoying and stop the rest of the BS. Have a plan where you can keep enough that you can do whatever you enjoy that is new each update.

And if you aren't willing to put the time and effort into growing that amount, then don't worry about it. You made a decision to use your time differently. Time is really the only thing that is kind of yours, and there ain't that much of it. You made a choice it your life to spend time other than on a game. Great! Celebrate that. Even if it was only to get an hour's extra sleep.

But stop losing sleep over what your imaginary and ephemeral gold balance is or how much in game assets cost. If that is the most important thing in your life to you, then you have more than enough time in a day to grow that balance. And if you don't have the time, then it means that you really need to rethink what the most important thing in your life is, because it certainly shouldn't be RR3.
