A poster asked something similar on the What if you could do it all over thread. [0] Although I don't know much about your life, I am going to venture a guess that if you were in this position in the first place, you are bound have marketable skills and are very privileged. Note that I am not doing the "but the kids in Africa" argument but its reverse. You have already won a lottery and can focus on the prize you did win instead of robbing yourself of happiness by looking at even larger jackpots. I am not saying that you are not allowed to be sad, rather just trying to wake you up to the insane bounty you do already have. Doesn't it fill you with joy to know that you are leading a freer and more comfortable life than 99.999...% of people who ever lived? The quality of your life is already fundamentally equivalent to those wealthy people you torture yourself about. i.e. you can more or less afford to have a life rich in chosen experiences and organize it the way you want. You already have access to all the good things in life other than the sort of megalomania and diminishing return based entertainment that billionaires like to spend their time with. By definition it will be hard to stop your feelings through rational argumentation. So what I'm saying is to just wake up to the things you have.
