Money Buys Comfort, Not Happiness
I lost $600K but found happiness. You won’t believe where…
I used to think more money meant more happiness.
That’s why I chased Bitcoin.
That’s why I built passive income streams.
That’s why I moved to Cyprus to live the “free” life.
And for a while, it worked.
I could wake up whenever I wanted. Eat at the best restaurants. Travel without worrying about flight prices.
Until one night, I lost $600K in crypto.
Gone. Just like that.
Do you know what hit me the hardest?
It wasn’t just the money.
It was realizing that for the first time in my life, I had everything I thought I wanted — and I still wasn’t happy.
That loss forced me to ask myself:
What if everything I believed about happiness was wrong?
So, I Did Something Different.
Most people would’ve gone into hustle mode — grinding 16-hour days to make it all back.
But instead? I left.
I packed a bag and traveled to places where people had far less money than I ever had.
