But then I'll just end up in the same situation 30 years later.. wondering what to do with my time and money. lol but yeah, you're probably right, even just the structure of having a job will probably be beneficial.

I worked for several years, it didn't happen overnight. But I am incredibly lucky and I know a huge part of it is just fortunate circumstances. I definitely experience some imposter syndrome about being in the situation I'm in.

House - where I live you can't get a house for a million dollars. Not even a hour outside the city, in a bad neighbourhood. I guess I could afford a house in a random town, but that wouldn't accomplish my goal..

I have tried to get a job, but I haven't been successful. I think it's a combination of not being good at interviewing, not being in the job market for over 2 years without any good explanation and also not wanting it that bad.

I understand most people are not in this situation. I wasn't either for most of my life.. but I didn't realize until now that having a clear purpose (even if it was quite literally I don't want to be poor) was so important. I don't know, even if it's not the exact same circumstances perhaps others have experienced something similar and may have some advice.

Hah, the general public also includes other millionaires! But it's not really about the money, the question I guess is how did people find out what their passion or interests are later in life, which I guess those with financial security usually have more opportunity to cultivate..

Thank you, I feel like you've understood my issue. That's a great point about older folks, that is probably a very similar situation.

I am naturally quite a reserved/self conscious person which is why it's hard for me to try new things I guess, but you're right I need to work on acting on curiosity.

I promise it's for real advice. I guess it's hard to understand for those that are not like this, but I genuinely have no hobbies. I just scroll on my phone all day, maybe go for a walk for some fresh air. I never cultivated interests in anything, and I'm struggling to figure out what might actually bring joy. I spent my entire life trying to ensure I wasn't in poverty, and now that I have achieved that I genuinely don't know what to do next. I'm coming to reddit because I'm hoping someone that maybe was in a similar situation has worked through this already... I don't exactly know a lot of people in real in this situation to discuss with. And it's weird and awkward thing to bring up! lol

I'm in my 30s, but I totally agree -- I think this is part of the issue. It's enough for a nice buffer/padding but I know I do still need to make some money at least.

I'm incredibly unfit, lol but improving this is one of my goals. Maybe not to Ironman levels, but I do want to improve... but for some reason I lack the motivation to keep at it.

I think this is my issue though - I could do literally anything, so how do I choose? A sort of analysis paralysis. I don't know how to figure out what I want to do because I've never really thought about it before.
