You probably thought that couldn’t be possible. You slog away day and night only to find yourself wondering, “boy it sure would be great if I had a lot of money” the biggest problem is you never know what to do after that. Of course you know what to buy, but what then, how much can you buy? After you bought that mansion, that Ferrari, what comes next? Well the problem is our thoughts never go beyond.

However depressed millionaires is a real thing. People who started from scratch and made it big from selling ideas, making you tube videos or having one hot song to getting a startup. The internet boom of the 90s particularly created them in hundreds and thousands They went from Rags to riches in a flash. The story of their success is an inspiration just like the story of their depression.

Where does this depression even come from after all they are living the life, million dollar cars, private jets, pool parties, bubble baths from bubbly champagne. Then what is so depressing. The fact is these depressed millionaires teach you that money isn’t everything. This is one of the reason many people pick up other things such as adventure. This is the reason Mark Zuckerberg challenges himself every year, from hunting to living off of nature to learning Mandarin. Some choose the conventional Philanthropy, some go for adventures and others pick up hobbies.

The fact is money isn’t everything, down the line we may not have the luxury of understanding it but the best moments of our life didn’t come getting paychecks but having an adventure
