I made it when I was 21 and ever since then everything has revolved around my intense fear of wasting my youth. I didn't want to end up a 40 year old who never did anything fun when he was younger, especially because I spent all of my teen years locked in my room alone in the dark online. Most things I have done since have been viewed through the lens of "will I look back on this later?" and "will I remember this?" but now I am 22 and I am starting to worry I will end up incapable of love and yet again alone with nothing but money and memories due to all this debauchery - and not necessarily even good memories, or rather, they won't be good to me because I will never live that AGAIN b/c I'm stuck as an old man now and I'll have an unbearable case of old-world blues. That sounds depressing too in a way, but I am not sure if it is more depressing than a wasted youth - never experiencing those things at all, not even once. Oddly I used to be obsessed with making money for the benefit of my future, but now I'm overly concerned with making memories for the benefit of my future. I am seriously considering entering college (after I get my cosmetic surgeries done) just so that I'll get exposed to tons of opportunities for memory-making. What do you think, biz? Financially speaking, how do you live life to the fullest once money is no longer an issue? Is the purpose of life ultimately just to feel as much as possible before death? Am I a stupid kid making stupid kid mistakes? Is that necessarily bad?

For me, the deep existential fulfillment comes from practical compassion. Loving and being loved. Being devoted to truth. Having integrity. Doing courageous things in service of love and truth. Life is experienced as full, then, and nothing is lacking. Find meaningful work and pursue meaningful relationships.

you have to take chances (means actually talk to females) and be fine with them 'rejecting' you, but, maybe you reject them, since you should strive to seek someone that you see eye to eye with.

cultivate strength (exercise) , discipline (not making excuses not to exercise) , eat right (aka, take care of your fucking human vessel) , and just try your best to make progress at whatever thing it is that you enjoy

For instance, I'm a screenplay writer working a dead end retail job.

What constitutes meaningful work? For me work has always been something I had to do for money. Meaningful relationships can come from what I am doing. Does that make it okay?

>talk to females
I do that plenty. I view rejection as an experience. I also view failed relationships as experiences.
>cultivate strength (exercise) , discipline (not making excuses not to exercise) , eat right (aka, take care of your fucking human vessel)
I do all this already. I still feel pretty empty.
>whatever thing it is that you enjoy
The only thing I ever enjoyed was saving my paychecks. That is meaningless now and no longer enjoyable. The only thing I can really say I enjoy now is being attractive and youthful but that is a well that will quickly run dry; there is no such thing as a youthful 50 year old - maybe a relatively youthful one, but that just feels like a cope to say at all.

Man really you are just gonna have to accept that your path through life is just not gonna be a Normal one and that is ok. But as far as studying desperately for SATs praying you can get a high enough score to escape your shithole hometown and then getting buried in student loans and then getting out of college and feeling like you have a gun to your head every day while your student loans grow like a cancer… well that’s just not your life!!! And there are good points and bad points to that. You will miss out on some of the fun of being a “normal” young adult but you’ll miss out on a whole ton of misery and desperation too. I think the main thing is to just make sure that you don’t let your financial comfort lull you into a place where you don’t do anything productive with your time. Always pursue more knowledge and do what you can to improve and maintain your health. And find some kind of a project you can be passionate about to work at every day, and the nice thing is that in your case it doesn’t necessarily have to be anything super profitable. For example, you could grow bonsai trees or plant a vegetable garden in your backyard to sell at farmers markets. And while you are doing this you won’t experience the life and death pressure most people do because they are always trying to leverage anything they do into the maximum amount of additional income. Good luck out there and glad you have been so successful so young!

Checked!

I can relate to having a hard time finding your dreams.
Do you have some of your drawings or texts from when you were a kid?
Some of your older toys?

Maybe you had dreams but forgot them.
Another possibility is to imagine what you would want to do before you die in your life.
Make a list of things you want to do and experience.
That should help you.

Maybe with enough life experiences you will find what's special for you.

I also "made it" fairly young with a few million at 22. I am now 28. The answer to your question is to have many, many kids. Something happens, or at least happened to me in my mid-20s, where I felt an intense longing to have children. I now have 1 child and am trying for another. The satisfaction from having kids and providing them with the highest quality things in life (first class education, lots of travel, Disneyland trips, etc.) has provided me satisfaction far greater than the money ever did, and eliminated the fear of missing out on more shallow experiences that you're describing.

Everything you've described sounds like kiddy shit to me. How impressed would you be if I said I beat Elden Ring multiple times? Probably not very impressed, because the feat of beating a video game probably pales in comparison to having expansive world-changing experiences out in the world and with money.
This is how everything you've described sounds to me with kids. It makes you sound young and immature regardless of money, EXACTLY like a 10 year old telling you he beat a video game and expecting you to be super impressed. Have kids. You haven't "beaten" anything yet.

Financially speaking, land is the final form of wealth and the basis of all economic activity, manufacturing, rent, water and resources, hedging and security / defence of your tribe

If you can afford it I advise you to buy either a 10-60 or a 700-1000 acre tract at the top of a local water catchment and build yourself a solar village or at least a hunting lodge . although most of them come with farm houses and buildings already there. watching your orchards grow is pretty rewarding over time and planting a tree is like a time capsule you will remember the day you planted it when you see it at 20 years old bearing huge flowers or fruit for your wife/kids. if you don't know what to do with it you can just let it all turn into forest. or you can let tenants farm it for you and be a lord. Then you would get income off it and could start building stuff like an earthen wall all the way round or vast walled gardens with big pools etc. idk man you should use your money to build something cool anyway

also this >>55585861
is the only way to be safe 'financially'

even owning 15 acres of raw undeveloped land will make you safe 'literally' as with some investment you can get rent from it, work / produce there, or stay there rent free and eat off the land with unlimited development potential over years

The reason you want at least a 3 bedroom property with 'privacy acreage' and a large pool and gardens and large modern bathrooms and kitchen is because that's what hot girls can't resist and what children love.

Spend all your young years seeking out love, companionship, only waste a minimum of your time on hedonistic pleasures.

College is a good idea but I wouldn’t necessarily be in a rush, especially since you’ve already delayed it and since you made it you can carefully execute and go to the best college possible.

How did you make it? What are your ambitions, if you have any? I think it’s hard to say what is and isn’t a waste of youth if you don’t have a direction you want to head in. I didn’t figure that out until I was almost thirty and at that point, my twenties were over and I couldn’t do what I wish I had done with them. I could’ve gotten lucky and done the right things unknowingly but that’s it. If you have the leisure time and resources to do what you want but you can’t answer the two questions above, you should probably think about that.

Being busy isn’t enough. Some people can be satiated just by being busy. Some people will need to be busy with something that is worthwhile. Mere business for these people is a waste of time and thus a waste of life for these people of that business isn’t worthwhile.
