I achieved all of the big life goal I had for myself or anyone else had for my at the age of 23.
>get into a good college >graduate from college >start a career you enjoy >make 6 figures >work remote so I can be wherever the fuck I want every single day
>not interested in owning a home >not interested in getting married
Now what? All my other goals aren't big enough to drive the course of my life. I've been floating through life like a husk for the past 3 years doing shit people think is awesome but I'm just going through the fucking motions.
Learn an instrument, learn how to paint, read books, get incredibly fit. Maybe restrict yourself with your tools and learn achieve something in those limits to feel accomplished again? Find a girl/man to enjoy your life with. Idk there should be plenty to do, no?
I personally would just travel, discover new music and watch quality movies for a start. If that doesnt cut it idk man. Thats too far ahead of me

I'm in the same boat but 29. I've been doing this thing since I was your age. Single, no kids, have more money than I know how to spend.
Sometimes I wake up early and get ready for work and think "why the fuck am I doing this to myself?" and I don't know the answer.

This is a problem that is becoming more and more some kind of common knowledge. Money doesnt buy happiness kinda meme. Though most people living are not wealthy so they often debunk it.
>if only I had x amount of money I could by y >I would never work and have fun all day
I now think it might be similar to the experience of turning your hobby into your job, sucking the joy out of it.
Idk, maybe humans function weirdly that everything you want becomes significantly less fun once you get it. Dont really have quality advice here, sorry. Maybe force yourself to try out new things you dont really feel motivated to do? More often than not it turns out fun.

I know it's all mentality, happy people are happy regardless of circumstances.
The thing is I've always had some large obvious peak to climb and now I climbed the last peak and I'm standing in the middle of a rolling meadow. Like yeah that hill over there is higher than my current position but only by like 20 feet and there's 15 more in every direction so what's even the point.

I was in the same place at your age and now I'm turning 25 in August and nothing has changed. I think the easy money of being a smart, capable computer scientist has screwed up our perception of success. I'm saving up enough money to quit my job for a year or two and focus on producing art I can be proud of, but I'm still not super close to where I'd want to be, splitting my savings between that goal and emergency fund and travel fund. I don't know, dude.

If you have money to spend, here are two recommendations studies have shown to make people happy: -purchase experiences rather than material objects. Buy lessons in a form of art like drawing, cooking, music, etc. Or buy other experiences like a helicoptor tour over the grand canyon. Skydiving. Etc. These are all examples. Martial arts classes. You can set a goal to become high ranking in whatever martial art you pick -purchase gifts for other people. Studies show people are happier with themselves when they spend money on other people rather than money on themselves

I'm 21, haven't even finished community college Computer Scientist in Missouri. I work a pretty good internship right now. They've wanted to make me full time but I know it doesn't make sense to stay. They'll offer at most 55k. I've had offers for 75, 82, 98k. They wanted me to drop out of college, so I said no. Also said no because it's no big deal if I lose this job for some reason, I don't know if I'm ready for a job that serious.
Very weird part of my life. My parents in their prime didn't make 55k. I just want to program and be comfortable. Money be damned past that point, but I have a career goal of 200k in 10 years. Easy if I make the right choices, but I have no clue what I'm going to do with all that money. I had to live in some shit conditions and I'm happy making $12/hr despite being worth twice that.

I understand it's the epitome of first world problems, but having been handed everything we're told are life-long goals in our early 20s does leave us feeling very empty. Buying art or taking trips or being "spontaneous" doesn't fill the void of life purpose. I sympathize with OP and it's never something I'd bring up outside of an anonymous message board.
