Good on you for finally hitting the jackpot. If you ever end up with real money, think about ending homelessness in your city. Why not? One strategy to make friends: just show your disdain for working people and rich people will flock to you. :-D It's funny that everyone seems to have trouble meeting new friends when older, even the 1% apparently. Add Covid to the mix, and things are tough. I guess it's probably only really possible to meet other rich people to be friends with, else you'd always be worried that people were just using you. This question seems to show up a lot in the Reddit FIRE communities -- maybe they've figured out the answer. Reminds me of Douglas Rushkoff's anecdote about how, when growing up, his dad got promoted, they moved to a bigger house in an outer burb, own backyard and pool and grill, so fewer friends, etc. What's the basis? https://rushkoff.com/books/ https://rushkoff.com/books/ If you move to the right hood, your neighbors are prob rich, too. And if you just have hobbies like pickup soccer, you can have casual friends without being true/real friends. And once you start the kids in their private schools, you'll run into those parents. Good luck.
