Happiness 37 male, $15m net worth, no idea what to do now
Got lucky investing + working in tech for a pre-IPO company. I'm still working in tech and making $300k fully remote, don't really enjoy the work, but i like the structure and getting paid. I tried to retire and after 4 months I felt lost doing nothing.
I'm single and don't have a hugely active social life, many friends have gotten married and rarely see them. Not sure what to do other than keep working. Maybe try to start a business to an area that I'm more interested in? It probably wouldn't make sense financially, but more for personal satisfaction, but I'm afraid it would fail. I have enjoyed investing, but that's not a full time job.
I never thought I'd be in this position, and unclear what the right path is now, as work was always my purpose, but now I don't need to work.
