Default Retaining wall garage worth it?

I live in an older area 50 years old. Our back yard is sloped and fairly large 55 feet wide.

I’ve got some quotes for a 24 x 24 garage in the 45,000 range including the structurally engineered retaining wall which may be 6-8 feet high.

24 x24 being quotes for basic package at around $24,000.

Fairly significant amount of money if we were to do it would probably add a cement pad beside it since the sloped area is useless. Plus other things like gas rough in, insulation, drywall possible storage truss, 2x6 , 10 foot walls.
We have the room to create a even larger garage but with the costs doubtful we will go past 24x24.

So the question is do you think it’s worthwhile / a decent investment.

We could stay at this house for a very long time we like the area but it’s also not the biggest home 1172 sq plus 430 sq feet in basement.
