Usually that happens to people who have been rich their entire lives. Going from poor to wealth is a generally healthy thing. I think what people do with that wealth is what causes a problem. Spending the money on something that is not truly meaningful in your life won't solve the problem.
I don't have any statistics on that, but I do know a guy who went from rags to megariches and fame and could bang all the super models
@SimpleMeLike are dreaming of and still committed suicide.
Hello Laissez Faire,
Lol, man stop with the bullshit man.
Anyone making/earning $200K to $X,XXX,XXX a year is NOT unhappy. And if they are, they stupid.
As I said before, I can only speak for myself, and I am making $200K to $X,XXX,XXX per year, especially trading, man I will be HAPPY as Fuuucccckkkk. I would not have 1 compliant in this world.
I honestly can not even think of a problem I would have making that much a year. I seriously can not think of a problem, honestly.
It's not bullshit. It's true.
So, are you saying you're not happy right now? You do seem to have a positive attitude, so I'm sure you're already pretty happy as it is.
What things would you be doing when you get rich that you can't do now that would make you happy?
Funny thing is I was reflecting a bit on this over the weekend and discussing it with my friends as we were hanging out. If I were RICH - I wouldn't have done much else this weekend anyway. I had all I really wanted. Hanging out, drinking nice wine and eating good food out. Okay, if I were rich maybe I'd pick up everyone's bill and we'd drink wines even more expensive, but that wouldn't really tip the scale, would it?
Sunday morning I was all alone (which I LOVE) and read while drinking my morning coffee not doing anything else or having any other plans for the day. If I was loaded, I wouldn't have done it differently.
There's plenty of other stuff I'd do that could make my life better if I became rich, but they wouldn't make me happy as I already am happy.
Great advice. I would like to add
- Meditation- Start off with whatever time you can and build from there. It helps with internal turmoil tremendously
- Practice Gratitude- Keep a gratitude journal- add 3 things daily you are grateful for.
- Volunteer - Give of your time to those who need help. This gives you purpose if you don't feel you have currently and it shows you real reasons why we should be grateful.
My mom suffered from depression all her life so I know its not easy and I wish you the best. Good luck
Yeah. I agree that those should be on the list. Actually forgot to put them there as I was remembering stuff I did back then when I was depressed.
I thank you for the good wishes, but this was a long time ago and I can say that I have zero such issues today.
I'm not rich either, but like we both figured out money ain't much to do with happiness assuming you have your base expenses covered and roof over your head.
