> I made a ridiculous amount of money and feel “depressed” A lot of people are going to read that and think - how the hell is that even possible? It does not seem to matter how many times it is said, or what studies show, but people don't seem to get it into their heads that how much money you have and how happy you are are completely unrelated once a certain level of income is attained. Or, putting it another way, happiness is mostly unrelated to the amount of money you have in your bank account. I was once £150K in debt, and people don't believe it when I tell them they were actually some of the happiest years of my life! So what to do? I would talk to someone first off. I would suggest a good life coach as a starting point - Tim Brownson at A Daring Adventure (just google 'A daring adventure') is a stand up guy (known him for years) and a fellow Brit! He might help you find some focus on a new direction. He's lived in American for about ten years now I think so maybe his accent is decipherable now and he doesn't sound like a mad Australian. So what kinds of things affect happiness? - exercise / health - relationship - friends - purpose - contribution and that special little thing a lot of workaholic Americans forget all about: FUN!
