I used to be a software millionaire back in the 80's. My discovery is that money does buy happiness so the phrase should actually be "Money does buy happiness, but can't cure clinical depression." The list of wealthy people who have committed suicide is long, starting with my contemporaries Kurt Cobain, Chris Cantrell, Anthony Bourdain... and almost me. The money is gone now but I'm happy with enough to live comfortably.
- tasuki 1y ago> The money is gone now How did it happen? Millions in 80's sounds like a whole lot of money... > but I'm happy with enough to live comfortably. Congrats!
- labrador 1y agoI spent it all looking for a cure: therapy, travel, spiritual journies like road trips. My needs are low so the social security I paid into here in America is enough for me now. I'm happy like Woz.

- reilly3000 1y agoPlease keep trying. You are here for a reason.
- labrador 1y agoI feel for you. Try therapies like CBT. Check yourself in if you have to. You are not alone by a long shot.
- sharadov 1y agoAgree, I'm you now, but I feel I paid a huge price for that success - as an immigrant, I had no choice looking back. But after losing my dad a few months ago, I had an existential crisis, am slowly but surely limping back. Am glad you found peace.
