I'm turning 35 at the end of this year and reading through your post I feel like you need human connection. You're really not in a bad spot, though. A lot of people would kill to have the amount of savings you have, at that age. I haven't achieved much professionally. I have about 500k in savings as well and have just worked corporate jobs. However, I met my wife when I was 23, we got married when I was 30, and I have two young children. To me, it makes it all worth it. And, it's not too late at 35. There are so many people that have put off personal life at the gain of their professional life, that you're bound to find someone in a very similar situation. That said, you might need to be less picky at this point and realize that you're looking for someone for life. Keep that in mind as you start dating. > Now I feel too old to go to festivals, bars and clubs and make new friends that way. I couldn't imagine doing this. It sounds absolutely terrible. I don't try to make friends anymore because I have enough going on just having a family. I also have zero desire to ever enter a club. Bar? Sure, I'll go with my wife sometimes and it's fun, as long as it's quiet. Staying out until 4am partying? That part of my life is in the past and I'm grateful for it. I look back at it and feel like I was probably searching for purpose and drowning it out with alcohol and drugs when I couldn't find it.
