I made about $2m during 2014-2017 and cashed out about $1.5m I still work in a job I enjoy, making about $100k a year which I'm not going to quit I have an apartment I already paid for and literally have nothing to spend my money on besides restaurants and some clothes I enjoyed the process of making money way more than the fact that now I have money and I also realized that making more money is literally useless so I can buy a better home or buy a better car which would impress people that are the sort of people that you don't even want to impress (or otherwise make them resent you since they can't afford these sort of stuff)
what is the point of getting more money? is it all just a scam?
Having financial freedom gives you the opportunity to seek fulfillment without the looming threat of poverty hanging over your head.
If you enjoy playing the markets then do it, but expand your experiences while doing so. You will be surprised at what you might end up doing or enjoying.
Congrats on selling the top, but 1.5m won't last forever if you want to live somewhere modern. Take the steps now to ensure your freedom no matter where you go.

Atleast you don't have to worry about a mortgage or bills. Probably is a scam.

I started consuming politics, economy, history, and tech related materials and expanded my horizons, which is what I enjoy now, and feel like I can just sit and listen to podcasts and read medium articles for as long as I can.. just need to find friends who enjoy the same sort of things..

You are already close to internalizing the belief that material objects are incapable of creating happiness for their owner. Finish that process and discard your meaningless accoutrements.
You have a single life, and your memories and experiences are what matter most. Not cars, computers, watches or clothes, though all of these things and more can allow you to go down a path to new experiences.
Enter the world and become a human, or waste this precious opportunity and burden yourself with a hoard of luxuries. It is up to you.
Also earn nearly 100k, I don't actually spend much money at all. You need to keep busy doing something you like or you'll go insane. Possessions are utterly meaningless and don't make you happy.

Ok, we get it. You are boring.

>memories are important All they will do is make you feel melancholic and sentimental. They will die with you on your death just like you leave behind all material possesions.

Money is only meaningless when it is spent on positions. You have enough money now to truly build a life rich in EXPERIENCE. Always wanted to learn how to surf? Move to Sri Lanka for 6 months, buy a surf board and live by the beach, working in a hostel if you want some busy work. Want to climb everest? Move to the hills and take up mountain climbing; you have the money for the equipment and the sherpas and you also now have TIME. Want to learn Spanish? Go move to Colombia and fuck every gorgeous Colombian girl in site. When you're bored of all this, start a business or a charity, something to fill your day with challenge and meaning.
You are no longer limited by geography or time as you no longer have the necessity of wagecucking. Now you have a chance to cultivate yourself. Don't waste it.

Yet there are no better alternatives, if you arrive to a conclusion that it all doesn't matter in the end you will go down a bad path Naval says pic related
