[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a different perspective:  you were born with what 99% of people in the working world, even the lawyer/MBA types like myself, are busting their butts to achieve--a stable source of income for the rest of your life sufficient to cover your basic needs.  Instead of trying to find a job that will let you buy more stuff and go on more/better vacations, consider taking your amazing freedom and using it to really explore the world or yourself.  Ditch the apartment and use your rent money to travel around the world or live in a cabin in the woods for a year (the road less travelled, etc.).  You can't start traveling now, of course, because of COVID, but you can start planning now so that you are ready to hit the ground running once things return to normal.  You won't be staying in 4-star hotels, but you can see amazing things, meet amazing people, and broaden your horizons beyond buying more stuff to keep up with the Joneses.

If you feel like your life is unfulfilling now, do you really think an office job and bunch of fancy cars and nice vacations is going to give you a sense of purpose?[/quote]

TOTALLY

[b]I would also suggest joining some boards.[/b] It's way way way more fun to be on a board than to actually have to go to work every day - as you know, since you've quit all your jobs quickly upon starting them.

I don't know how big your monthly payment is. If it's big enough, why don't you start a nonprofit or a foundation or something that you can be in control of, and that way you don't need the tedium of having to go to work every fcking day.

You can do it however you want, but also that way when people ask you what you do you'll have an answer - Oh, I run the Baxter Family Trust. We give grants and support to animal shelters looking to reduce cat euthanasia across the country, and we fund programs to help at-risk shelter dogs get the training they need to be able to get adopted! It's super fulfilling. We've saved 30,000 animals this year by funding programs at 1000 shelters across the country, and next year we're expecting that number to double.

(I can help you figure out how to give out grants to shelters, if that is your interest. Just give a shout!)[/quote]

LOL joining boards -- I work at a small nonprofit and we would never bring OP on unless she gave a bunch of money. Board want CPAs, lawyers, marketing people, MBAs. Op brings nothing to the table.

OP, start volunteering somewhere meaningful. You are literally wasting your life. [/quote]
