When I was in my late 20s I won the bitcoin goldrush. I had more money than I knew what to do with and from that I fell into depression.
It took me a while to come to the realization that I love doing things, eg I love programming, but I don't always have projects I want to be doing. Thankfully, I love just doing fun things, so turns out companies are perfect for giving me things to do.
I'm not a workaholic, quite the opposite. I have hobbies and what not, but I enjoy working.
Maybe I never learned how to enjoy the fruits of my labor, or maybe I have, being lucky enough to go through psychological growth bumping into these challenges and prospering from them.
The human condition is odd, isn't it?
- simplyinfinity 6y agoA lot of people want to be rich and do 'nothing'- eg. sit on a beach all day or travel all the time. Most people will experience the same thing as you did, but don't know it before hand. People want to be useful and do something, what they don't want is crap bosses and poor work conditions. From what I've observed, people with good bosses & work conditions (including adequate salary to cover their needs and save some) tend to desire less to be rich as all their needs are covered. More often people under poor working conditions & pay desire to be rich as means to get away from their situation thinking it would solve their problems.
