invest it you'll end up either feel good or suicide
Bentley Sullivan
Buy drugs (psychs) and get a hobby
Lincoln Nguyen
>>feels like I've lost all objectives and purpose in my career, feels like I'm increasingly incompetent and going nowhere
Everybody needs some motivation or goals in life... even if they are superficial goals.
You don't even care to chase pussy? Like to travel? Like to see the world? Like superficial toys? Like cars?
If you really are young, and that loaded, the world should be a game for you.
Angel Green
I'm 24 I hate travel and cars, I detest consumerism in general I avoid talking to women
roughly half makes up a three fund portfolio and I'm too paranoid to invest the remainder
my job was my hobby I've tried many things and couldn't get into any I just don't have the energy to keep looking for this shit anymore
Ryder Jackson
You sound like a fucking waste of space.
Seriously, do massive amounts of drugs. They'll either open your mind and change your personality or you'll end up a loser junkie, which isn't much worse than you are now.
Julian Hernandez
You can give your money to me and we can play Total War together or some shit.
But why not get a hobby? You have the money to basically have fun with anything.
Andrew Ramirez
How much are you making/saving per year?

like I said I tried I don't enjoy anything anymore
in the high five figures, nothing insane i live with my parents so expenses are usually just gas, groceries, phone, insurance, and taco bell, comes out to about $350 a month

Do you know what Nietzsche meant when he wrote that God is dead? You're the product of a sick society that has removed all meaning from life. It's not your fault.
Mason Moore
And? What will I be motivated to do?
Asher Smith
What are your skills? Consider starting your own business. I felt similar to you OP. I couldn't take the typical path, it would bore me into oblivion. I've started a digital marketing business designing sites and doing SEO. While it's a little slow going right now, the satisfaction I get is incomparable.
While I like Nietzsche, I think he was a pussy. We live in a purposeless universe, accept it and get over it. Because it's purposeless, we can choose our purpose. I don't like any philosophy that says anything was predestined or determined for us. Blaze your own path.
Aiden Fisher
Chase tail, among other things.
Justin Garcia
>We live in a purposeless universe, accept it and get over it. Because it's purposeless, we can choose our purpose. Most people on Earth disagree with you. Those who agree live in countries that are either Marxist or post-Enlightenment Christian. Coincidentally, those countries are the main producers of people like OP.
I'm not advocating Nietzschean philosophy, but that particular observation of his was very astute.
Julian Cruz
Here's what's gonna happen: I'm going to stop masturbating, removing one of the only reliefs I have I'm gonna get back on Tinder where I will find obese cows who work as cashiers who out of the kindness of their hearts choose me to take them on a coffee date I'm going to make an attempt to maintain some kind of conversation, give up, and leave Everything will backfire and I'll end up unwilling to leave the house for any reason at all
I avoid interaction with women

This is serious advice -- find the Mr Money Mustache blog and go through the entire thing, reading all the posts that catch your eye. He also has a "save money for the sake of saving money" mindset and was able to leverage that into a very meaningful and free lifestyle, and he has a lot of specific actionable ideas about this.
The advice to move out, and to do psychedelics, are also good.
Bentley Kelly
True words
Fight Club has a really good quote about that:
>God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.
That's why people are so degenerated today. Doing all kind of shit, getting angry over nothing, social justice warriors and so on... They are just bored to fucking death and they don't know what else to do.
>inb4 back to /pol/
It's true, get over it, the people don't have problems and that IS the problem
Charles Ortiz
its true but there are incredible opportunities to make bank that didnt exist 10-20 years ago. the economy is a piece of shit right now but theres money to be made if you want to take the risks
Isaiah Wright
u need to move out. trust me.
Jordan Moore
there were always incredible opportunities to make money if you took risks. there are rags to riches stories from every single generation.
what did change is that it's much more difficult for the average person, i.e. almost everyone, to live a comfortable life. you have to go to college and then suck the right dicks to get a decent job, or suck the right dicks and then go into trades. housing prices are retarded unless you want to live in niggerville or in the middle of nowhere. after you slave away your whole life maybe you'll have enough put away to live the last 5-10 years comfortably when you can barely get out of bed before.

are you ugly af op? if yes then hit up the gym or use your money to get somewhat less ugly (nose job, whatever) that and having a six pack will get to to about 8/10
if not ugly or you did the above and became less ugly then your interactions with women should be less beta-maley (like you are now) and you'll find the girl and have kids and live happily and get a goal in life
John Taylor
the woman in that pic is ugly, and so are the two kids.

That was literally Nietzsche's entire philosophy LOL Uber mensch doesn't ring a bell?
Jacob Perez
Go conquer a small American town slowly.
Eli Gomez
I'd purchase a house or two (depending on where you live) and rent those out. Start building more income streams and you can always sell the house in the future if you want cash on hand.
You can, generally speaking, get to a point where you make your high 5 figure salary doing nothing but making sure renters aren't shitting on your walls.
Use that free time to go on a modest vacation, treat your family and friends to modestly nice things and go find your purpose.
Nolan Edwards
Financial independence is your goal senpai. You're $160 000 closer to it than I am
Evan Foster
people in my city are paying tens of thousands of dollars over the real price of the home in a massive speculative bubble hardly any different from what we saw in the housing crash, there could not possibly be a worse time to buy in
in addition renting is a full time job and you have to deal with renters
Nathaniel Nguyen
Go to small American town Get out of car Get rekt by two random fags looking for a fight -50,000 for American Dental care $150,000 left
OP dont do this
Lincoln Sullivan
life is better once you move out. Find a cheap place so you don't go broke.
You don't need a big romantic purpose in life, your objective could be nice clothes, more money, getting out of debt.
>feels like I'm increasingly incompetent This is the only thing that concerns me. You must not let this continue. You WILL regret falling behind in your work. Become a life long learner. Do not fall behind. This is very important. College is not the end of your education, its the end of structured education, at this point you must figure out what the curriculum is on your own or from a mentor.
You only get one chance at life, my dude. Don't fuck this up. You are already ahead of the majority of the species, don't throw it away because you're too lazy to keep learning.
Charles Watson
I already moved out for college that's why I said I moved back in. Living with roommates was terrible. Living alone will not be any better than what I have now.
Isaiah Robinson
>Living alone will not be any better than what I have now false
Joseph Brooks
the bulk of people on Veeky Forums giving advice regarding real estate and investing it in have no idea what they are talking about. in every large city housing prices are sky rocketing, and investors keep moving into shittier and shittier neighborhoods because they are being priced out of the neighborhoods that were affordable 1-2 years ago.
i just bought a house in a solid blue collar suburb that directly borders chicago. in the same suburb, $100-150k two/three bedroom houses on 1/10 to 1/8 acre lots are being bought with cash and closing in 2-3 weeks. a year or two ago those same houses would sit for months at a time before finally someone bought them with a mortgage.
also, i don't know if it's the same retard or a bunch of people parroting each other, but i see the recommendation to buy a duplex/multifamily building and living in one of the units constantly posted. in every single half decent neighborhood in the chicago area (and most large cities i imagine) it makes more sense to buy individual condos and rent them out. duplexes are highly uncommon, and usually each half is independently owned, and multi-unit buildings have a premium (vs buying the same amount of individual units,) around here smaller multi-units often have 3 bedroom units (not optimal for renting,) and higher taxes than individual condos would have. not to mention that individual units are generally more hands off. the association should take care of everything outside the unit, so you really only have to care about everything walls in. of course smaller associations are usually shittier so it takes more time and nerves to get them to do something.
Austin Baker
That's exactly the theory I have about SJW. Those people have everything, but need to worry about something, like everyone else. For the poor living in the rural area, its the health of their pasture, for the wealthy in town its social problems or even problems of others that don't even concern them.
Jackson Nelson
>While I like Nietzsche, I think he was a pussy. We live in a purposeless universe, accept it and get over it. Because it's purposeless, we can choose our purpose.
But that was literally what Nietzsche though as well, you dumbass.
Tyler Morales
Force yourself to break your comfortable cycle of nothingness. Routine drains the soul. And yeah, I know, you don't want to. But hey, it can't get worse.
Jack Scott
Reminder that Nietzsche lived a shitty life and even though he was well articulated that doesnt mean you should take advice from him.
Don't trust emo kids. Just live a normal life and do the things you like. Be self reliant. There is no need to worry about purpose and shit because you will never find an answer and then you will die. Instead spend your time on things that will make you more valuable, healthy, and happy.
Nolan Morris
Oh and chances are you will only have less free time in the future, so travel while you can :)
even if its just by yourself or not on the other side of the country/world

enough with this bourgeois meme ive travelled in the country and abroad and it was shit

I honestly can't believe you can describe your life in the way that you do and still give a shit

David Edwards
kill yourself troll
Noah Murphy
Is this worth getting therapy for? Would a therapist help? What would I even say
Cameron Turner
A therapist will tell you over and over to stop pretending that your life has to be the way that it is.
You can just accept this now, or can see a therapist. No difference except time and money.
You don't need a catalyst to change, you could just decide to stop doing things you don't like doing.
Connor Cooper
Go on a cheap holiday to cheer yourself up.
Dylan Bennett
Opie I was in a pretty similar situation a couple years ago, only difference was I at least had my own apartment because even I wasn't pathetic enough to live with my parents in my 20s
Same case of drifting through life with no purpose, hoarding money for no reason, no motivation to do anything, no goals, etc.
I thought sex would be the answer so I tried hiring some hookers, was fun but a week later I felt the same as I had before (and a few hundred dollars poorer)
Tried travel because everyone said it was lifechanging, I didn't find it too exciting
Tried lifting, it was a small help in the form of giving me a goal to pursue and putting me in better shape, but it's still generally an antisocial activity and I was still drifting
I had never done anything competitive (other than vidya, which doesn't count). Never really played sports and always set the curve on tests in school with 0 effort, so there was never anything I had to go out of my way to win at.
That's why it finally changed when I started training jiu jitsu. Suddenly I had a reason for lifting (to win), a reason for working (to fund my training), a reason for travel (to go to various tournaments). It also re-ignited my social life that had been dead for years, I had a group of friends again, friends who were actually working with me to achieve goals (unlike my previous friends who just wasted their lives playing vidya alongside me).

Try living on your own and start bringing girls over, get a hot tub

Nietzsche was the 90's kid on a skateboard amongst contemporary philosophers. His views on nihilism was that it's radical, not the "nihilists" of today who cry that nothing has meaning, rather than cheer that nothing has meaning.
Fuck, especially . It's like you're agreeing with Nietzsche
Alexander Gonzalez
>His views on nihilism was that it's radical
What ? He thought it was dangerous and he looked for ways to avoid it.
Jaxon Carter
Alright, this is what you're going to do Saturday morning. Hit the gym hard real early in the morning, force yourself to check out some booty(just quick glances is ok). Come back home and rip a huge bong hit and really take it in. Then listen to some music on Spofity or watch some nice porn.
Asher Nelson
>falling for the philosophy meme nobody cares
Noah Carter
Dangerous for schmucks. "I praise, I do not reproach, [nihilism's] arrival. I believe it is one of the greatest crises, a moment of the deepest self-reflection of humanity. Whether man recovers from it, whether he becomes master of this crisis, is a question of his strength!" He didn't seek to avoid it, he sought to overcome it. Rather than being saddened by meaninglessness, one applies meaning from the self.
The guy had massive fucking hate for the 'emo' nihilists as those guys described them, and I get really pissed every time Nietzsche is lumped up with them.
>start talking about it >get corrected >lol who cares

Congrats on reigniting your life with the most mundane activity possible.
But there is a lesson in there: You have to keep trying new things until you find something you like to do. Then once you're sick and tired of that shit, you have to keep trying new things again until you find something else you like to do.
Robert Kelly
He didn't say a black town.
Anyway $200k isn't "Take over a small town" money. You'd need around 5m for that. At least, my small town of 15k people would require about 5mil to purchase infrastructure to outcompete the local telecom, then about 1/2 mill to buyout or undercut our flagship restaurant. Everything else is just slowly pushing out what's there.

If you want i'll be your friend for as long as it takes for you to start giving me massive amounts of money then i'll leave but it'll be fun for a while.

Their is a massive 'spiritual' crisis in the western world today that is not talked about. OP is stuck in the eye of the storm.
I am from the rust belt. 60 years ago you could work in a mill and make a good living. Making a living is half of the problem. OP makes a good buck and still hates his life. The other part to this crisis is job satisfaction. Pay a person a decent wage, give him fulfilling work and amazing things will happen.
Mill workers busted their asses in conditions that would be illegal today. However they saw the steel they made go into impressive feats of engineering that still stand today. Without the American steel industry we would not have iconic structures such as the Empire State Building or the Golden Gate Bridge. Nearly all of the people who made the steel and constructed those iconic structures are dead, but people still admire them as pinnacles of American engineering and manufacturing. Go back 4500 years to the pyramids in Egypt. The blood, sweat, and tears thousands of men poured into this project is still known today.
You don't build a legacy on a smartphone application that will be forgotten about in 2 years. Your grandkids won't care about an app you made 40 years ago. To them you may has well have lived in the stone age with the rate of technological progress. Build something either physically impressive or timelessly useful and your descendants will speak of your name and your creations for generations. \\
