i am 28 years old.
around 4 years ago i wanted to earn lots and lots of money.
i wanted to the richest guy ever.
i worked like a dog day and night. and then 6 months ago i find that i have earned, saved and invested enough money to last me a lifetime as well as my 2 to 3 future generations to come.
as i was working very hard then i thought that why am i leading such a hard life when i have all the money in the world.
and then i did something stupid. i quit my job and started leading a luxurious life at home. of course i have invested all my money in such a scheme that it is giving excellent returns.
so i dont need a job anymore. but 6 months at home and doing nothing --i am bored to death with this lux life.
and now i am starting to feel that the hard life i was leading was much more exciting and interesting than what i am leading now. i want that life back but i dont know why i would be doing it-certainly not for money. can anybody suggest what i do with my life hence forth?

Right. Are you serious?
If you are, start volunteering to help others. Look around and see who needs a helping hand.
I am retired because of age, not because of luxury. I do volunteer work at the church. And I've joined a group who does handicraft that I enjoy.
It's a mistake to just sit around. You have to have a good reason to get up every morning.

You are a wonderful person to tell us so clearly what you want.
You will be happy and contented and enjoy the peace on earth if you try the following:
There are hundred and one ways one can serve the fellow human beings. Select the one that suits to your temperament and background. Sincerely do the service with commitment and start deriving the pleasure while doing and when done and seen the outcome.
But ensure that you audit your 24 hours of a day. Be judicious in alloting the time of a day so that you really are engaged and do not get bored at any point of time.
All the best all the time.

Good that now you have wealth added with health. Have you thought of the days when you will be old. Old to the extent that to clean your excretions, you may need some one else who will help you. Money can not buy every thing.
It is better to get married with a girl from a family of good culture. Have one or two kids.
Step2. You can continue your education, especially in guidance and counselling, special teacher courses for physically and mentally challenged people or any other branch of study you like. Do a post graduate and doctorate degrees. You can show world to a number of persons.
Step3. Come to India and learn Yoga.

u have earned so much in life. One should ve that thing in his life. But wats the meaning of earning so much in life when u cant buy selfsatisfaction in life with that money. i will suggest u should start doing job again and watever u earn from that should be spend on poor people who can even get food for the day or some for holy purpose. or should be given to an institutions like orphanage, old people home etc.

You have earned a lot of money and invested it safely then what is the worry? You can go back to do your earier work. If that work is not possible you may ask somebody to be a partner as after all these years working hard you must have made many contacts. If not you may come to me, we shall do work together and plan the things.

If you really have enough money to last you for the rest of your life, then I would look for a job doing something you love. Something that is not necessarily practical, but just fun. Do you love animals, be a zookeeper. If you want to help people find a non-profit group to work for. Just do something that will entertain you and give you a small stream of income to supplement what you already have.

Mayby you miss the social side of the work place, It is fantastic that you worked so hard to save all the money you could save...Mayby you could find yourself some volunteer work if you don't feel you need to work for money...
mayby you can go back to work and donate half of what you earn to a charity or some foundations...ones that help kids get ahead in life with education etc.

When you started working hard to make wealth, it was your intense wish at that point of time. Later you wished to lead a luxurious life that was your wish at that time that made you happy. Now again it's time for you to do some introspection to find out what exactly you want that would give you lasting happiness! Personally I feel, unless one works oneself to maximum, one cannot be contented!

You know that is very interesting and you are not alone.
The man who invented the March of Dimes was a millionaire also..and very bored. That when he came up with that charity idea and helped thousands of people. Why don't you do the same? There are so many in need and it will bring fresh life to your soul.
