Bro, you're not alone. I'm 22 years old with a 168k link stack and I just got my degree. Now I am starting to get depressed as fuck. No idea what to do with my life and I can't celebrate my gains with friends because 4chan scared me into keeping it secret from everybody (which I believe is the right thing to do). I don't know man what will happen to us, maybe just give it some time, it's a big change for all us who recently /made it/. It's like your whole worldview comes crashing down because something as absurd as stinkylink actually made you rich. Like, come on, I made 200k yesterday in a few hours. Meanwhile my friends are working in bars for €11 an hour. That is unreal. Money fucks with your mind bro. But at the same time, I do not want to give it away.

All it really is is realizing more viscerally that the lifestyle of 99% of people really is exactly as cucked as everyone here says it is, and people just don’t feel it because humans adapt to anything. If you manage to get rich and stay rich, you’ll never really fit in again, you will never relate to pop culture and media again, and you’ll have to figure out your own course in life, which is as hard as everyone says it is. Still better than the alternative

You're essentially socialised to feel like you should have a career, plus the vast majority of people do. Without one, you'll have nowhere obvious to focus your energies and could very well stagnate as a person, unless you have insane willpower/motivation/focus. Also, a lot of people you know will be memeing it up about being wage slaves and you won't be able to relate at all.

Yea and everybody that I'm asking advice for truly does not get it. They're all telling me to work, to get money, so I can build my life. They have no idea what to do without the common external motivator - money. They're unable to imagine what it is like to be in my situation. And if I would be honest about it, they wouldn't understand still, because they would imagine that having /made it/ would be the best thing ever and they would just get jealous about it.

Read up on existentialism, that's what you're coming up against from the sound of it. Society is very focused on making money so most people take that up as a prime motivator. When people achieve wealth, or begin to question what they would do once they have it, they start to realise that they'll still be missing something or that it won't actually fix whatever's stopping them from feeling content in life.

Probably don't study philosophy at uni, you can self-teach faster/in more depth and it'll be stuff that interests you more.

Thank you, that picture and your words comfort me. You're right, I shouldn't throw aside the christ pill that easily.

This is my biggest worry - an existential worry - it's a pity that our society has collectively lost a common way of meaningfulness.

After quitting my job I unironically spent years gradually putting together lists of everything I wanted to do since childhood, only to find that pursuing them gave me no satisfaction at all. Was it just a depressive chemical imbalance or existential ennui? No, I later discovered that every single goal and interest I ever had was the literal product of the slave mindset that everyone who’s not an inheritfag gets inculcated into them from birth. I had to tear it all down and start over from scratch, from the perspective of a non wageslave. It was depressing and painful to do because it just seemed like nothing was worthwhile or interesting anymore, but it was worth it in the end

I'll put it this way, if I had $500,000 USD right now, then I'd be "retired." That's enough to where I'd be able to reasonably invest it and very likely turn it into more. Eventually the value should be high enough that safe investments would give enough of a passive income to straight up be truly retired.

However at the rate I'm going I will not have $500,000 USD until possibly my 50's assuming I'm still alive, my income stays the same, and I continue living with my parents who are assumed to also still be alive at that age.

Currently I'm in my mid 20's with only about 3 years of work experience. I absolutely dread going to work. Hated every job I've had so far (except 1) and my college degree has been utterly useless.

I’ve become convinced that in general people who don’t take ethics seriously are on par with a wagecuck who doesn’t even know that there are people out there who live on passive income without ever lifting a finger to do any actual “work”. They wonder why their lives are such garbage and nothing ever seems to get better, and try to figure out how to get an edge over all the other people who surely must view life as cynically as they do, if not more so. They can’t see how transformative it is to be able to be more and more confident over time that nothing they think, say, or do will lead to harm to themselves or anyone else. It’s really a kind of freedom like no other, and it’s completely inaccessible to people who can’t just give it the benefit of the doubt, just for a while.

I dread the possibility of means so excessive that I cease to live in the real world. If I ever made so much money that I didn't have to work again I imagine I'd just keep my part time office job and finish up grad school. I could look for a house for me and my gf and go back to school for something more fun.
But I'm not so savvy, in some respects I'm relieved it will never happen for me. I tend to go insane with too much free time.
