2 years ago i was broke but i was happy.

A girlfriend that i loved, a mediocre job and i was in community college trying to get my degree.
im 23 now.
I own a $1 million dollar house and 3 cars, everything paidoff for but i hate my life, girl of my dreams left me and moved away im getting sued by 2 different people, i just got my license suspended for DUI when i was trying to help another friend that was very very drunk. I thought i wanted money and expensive cars to make me happy. I sit in my living room ready to cry all i want is my job pumping gas, getting my degree, and having the love of my life in my arms. every girl that i run into drools over my benz or house or clothes but no one seems to be real anymore. even my friends don’t talk to me thinking i’ve changed.
i honestly hate my life and don’t what to do, i’ve never been soo miserable in my life i wake up hating myself

what do i do?

share some of the wealth? j/k
i know where you’re coming from man, where you want life and things to be where they were before; where they were simpler and you had the girl of your dreams and a perfect life (or close too it)
however, times have changed. You have to get around this fact. Your girl is gone. You need to get over her, move on. Realize its done. There’s 3 billion women on this world, and you need to meet them!
make new friends, surround yourself around encouraging people who build you up, not bring you down. I find being able to have someone who appreciates you for what you are is the best thing in the world; someone who cares for you as a friend. Go play team sports, join a book club, meet women. Don’t flash money when you meet girls either, it will give the wrong outlook. Keep your chin up and be positive and thank God for all the fabulous things you have right now, you’re blessed, now go out and face the world. And don’t drink and drive again!

why don’t you sell a car and give the money for donation? that can help volunteer work can have agreat effect on your life:) … yeah you already learnt that money means nothing.. not at all happiness…. finding a true gf and true love is much more harder.. why don’t you talk with girls and hang out with them before you tell them how rich you are? if someof them seems to like you then they are not liking you for your money…. why don’t you go for a travell, spend some time on your own.. and don’t choose the best hotel.. choose a small one.. walk, relax .. do stuff like this… try to find a way to happiness:)

Volunteer work is AWESOME. such a good idea, makes you realize what you have, and why your life is so awesome, you take less things for granted. Travel is another great idea, it opens your eyes to the world, and again you take less things for granted

I volunteer at a local middle school spend like 3 hours, 4 days a week i donate money, blood, time, i was about to donate a kidney but my dad and mom talked my out of it.

She still loves me but she got married and says that its waay too late for us. im stupid i thought i could buy her back. i flew half way across the world to see her and still messed it up.

as far as the money goes…**** IT! i hate it soo ******* much the only reason i havent donated every penny is becuase im getting sued and im gonna need it to give to those blood suckers.

im still young so i’ve done the whole “show off” thing going to clubs with benzes for me and all my “so called friends” bought out the place but its temp. relief from my miserably life.

the worst is that people that i envy are jealous of my **** life.

i know they are jealous.. they can’t change them.. it time for you to go on.. no more thinking about past.. do useful things with that money..
start a new life.. why don’t you move to an other country where no one knows you and start everything again… put your money in a bank and take out just the amount you really need…

no!

It is simple.
Travel. Go to different countries. Don’t travel like a rich guy, but like a bag-packer. See the world (you have the money to get there) You will meer Real people. (America is THE most materialistic country in the world) People out there are real. Bagpack through europe, or south america. (if you know a little spanish)

Seriously. Go out, go away from this phony place you call home.
And if you have never been out of the states. Well then you cannot conceive just how great the world is. Sure it might not be materialistic. But that is exactly what you aren’t looking for!

And develop as a person.
Being rich in your head, is far more important then any cash or bonds you will ever own.

Hello, Anonymous! I was just having that same experience. Years ago when I was less financially healthy there was a lot more joy in my life. I think the problem is when you forsake who really are to pursue other people’s notions of how our lives should be we run the risk of losing ourselves completely and being superficial automotoids. I don’t know if that happened to you, but I can say with certainty that it happened to me.

I literally woke up and realized I don’t do ANYTHING that makes me happy and in fact I no longer know what those things are. In the past, I enjoyed art, horses, running, writing and just communing with nature. Now it seems the only thing I enjoy is talking about my account balance or buying something. ESPECIALLY clothes and gadgets.

It is SO very empty!

What I am doing now is trying to ween myself from these awful habits. I am looking into fine arts school for drawing and for fiction writing. I am starting to work out again (my abs are LONG GONE!!!!).

I am also going to leave my current living situation and live more humbly. I am trying to change jobs but that is hard in the downturn. But if I didn’t eat out three times a day every day I am sure a lower salary could be manageable.

So I say take inventory. If you only take joy in exterior material things, stop. Try to get some spiritual nourishment (and by that I do not mean going to a church or to a mosque or whatever–get a massage or spend the day out in the sun alone with your thoughts).

Put your money in savings and return to school to pursue whatever you find gives you joy and rediscover yourself. You will also need to de-tox your life. If all of your friends are people like me, you may wish to step away for a bit as they will only encourage you in the wrong direction.

As you do that I think you will find that the Universe will open to you and things like love and happiness will be yours.
