Having money after a certain age isn't very special.
Srs.
I'm saying this as a single guy in his mid 30s. I've only had significant amounts of money for about 4-5 years, and due to some good investments and a couple big commissions over the last 6 months, I'm at a position where I truly don't need to work and could go something like 7-10 years now living comfortably off of savings.
Yes, lack of stress makes life a lot more comfortable. But you don't have a lot of peers in the same situation, as most aren't independently wealthy. End up doing a lot of things alone, and friendships suffer as a result. I can find people to do things for short periods of time with, but I'm just not in a similar place to a lot of people so there's no real way to relate. And lack of money is a big motivational factor for overall life, as I just don't have the same drive as many of the guys I'm hanging out with nowadays, so I'm never the one winning the competition for girls we're hanging out with.
And most girls nowadays don't seem to give much of a fuk about how much money a guy has. They're certainly not going to choose a mediocre looking guy with ok social skills and lots of money over a good looking guy with great social skills and just a little bit of money.
Starting to think I should put my money into some account that I can't touch for another 10 years and keep working on myself more.

If you have friends from the past who treat you the same since you have built your wealth, then I would keep them around srs. Having a circle of friends you trust is more and more important the older I get I'm finding.
If not, I would say to just work on yourself like you said and find more entrepreneurial friends or friends who are absolutely devoted to their craft srs.

enjoy it while you can.
even very wealthy people come down with depression and lack the ability to enjoy anything regardless of the amount of money they can spend to purposefully try to have enjoyment.
if you still enjoy, try that.

welcome to the world of the real
your eyes have been opened - the desire for excessive materialism is an illness
nice things are nice - yes
but they are not all that matters.
great that you have cash. save it, stack it. never worry about money again
work on yourself. your mind, and how you talk - socialise. that might be holding you back yes around women.
in today's world they don't care about your money and job because they have their own. BUT they still want your money and theirs.
of course they will always go for the guy that makes them feel something - regardless of what he has (they might not marry him though).
so work on you brah. you look to be in a good position to start. and the right age
find a good woman, settle down somewhere conservative and start a family one day. that will also bring purpose to your life. and the money you have will for sure help - and mean something

Imo money won’t matter, in a sense, in my lifetime.
If the globalists are successful, by 2040 your fat portofolio well mean nothing. Even if we’re wealthy at that point, what we are allowed to spend it on and can do with it will be totally dependent on what they allow.
We’re clearly on that projection, time will tell I suppose

Money matters in what you do to get it and what you do with it, taking 7-10 years off is a bad idea and will just lead to a rot spiral
Scoop up a mortgage on a $3m property, overextend yourself a bit and that'll bring back your motivation

Use it as an opportunity to focus on your health and socializing. Avoid gold diggers and never flaunt your wealth - It's an empty pursuit.

I grew up in a middle class area but have gone on to be like lower upper maybe. Almost all of my friends stayed in the exact same spot in life, working dead end jobs with zero ambition. Anytime I hang out with them they always bring up my money and land. How I should give them some or let them come park a trailer in the back somewhere so they can live there. Same jokes every time, I love my friends but that chit is annoying af.

Money is important if you plan to start a family.
But you are correct in your observation. Good look & great social skill >> millionaire with avg look & avg social skill when it comes to hooking up.
Just look at Gordon, for example. He's got 5 mil but all he does is take a creeper shot of 3/10s while jerking off to sleep alone

Depends how much money you have and how you spend it.
If you want women you can have whatever women you want. Seeking.com
Money can get you whatever you want literally. Want a prime 18 yr old to drain your balls every single day? Go to seeking lol. Also $1 mil isn’t that much $. It’s more than most people have but honestly not that special. If you had $5 mil then I’d say you were golden.

I feel you brah. I am lucky to have enough money to remove a lot of day to day stress in life (forgot my packed lunch at home? $15 at a restaurant ain't chit. etc...), but it is definitely pleb money. I can't even support a family on my income.
Frankly, money doesn't buy what it used to these days. It fukking sucks. I'd say the first "life changing" amount of money would be enough to independently raise a family, which starting from scratch these days probably takes $200k/yr. The next step after that, mogger money where people start treating you differently? I've never crossed that bridge, but I'm guessing the Porsche and Neiman Marcos life starts around $500k/yr cashflow.

If you are placing yourself in positions were you are able to travel, do cool things, push yourself, and continue to learn.......and you still cant connect with females.....then you either look like a troll or your personality might be chit.
