Agreed. You've got food and shelter and clothing and a job, which is more than a lot of people can say. Now focus on being happy. Go out and be around people.

Agreed. You've got food and shelter and clothing and a job, which is more than a lot of people can say. Now focus on being happy. Go out and be around people. Tune up that guitar. Get one of those pets that you don't have. Level up in programming (or accounting or mathematics or surface-mount soldering or art history, for that matter) if that's fun, but don't think of it as some kind of necessary step in making more money. Frankly, taking steps to make yourself happier and meet more people may be just as likely to help you make money in the long run. Get a project and work on it every day. Practice practicing.
