Are you working? Have a hobby? I think no matter how much money you have, you need interests that make you feel good. Do you have a church or charity? Do you like animals? Do you have a "cause"? I know I'll get blasted for this, but if you don't have God in your heart...you may never be truly happy. (And I don't mean giving every penny to any certain group!)
My point is, do something that could make a difference in somebody's life. If you ever watch Oprah, you know what I mean. See if you can get the taping of when Oprah gave everybody in the audience $1000. The stipulation was that they had to give it to someone else. That unselfish deed seem to impact more people than they ever imagined.
I'm not rich, heck, I don't even have a job, but I manage and feel very blessed with what I do have.
Have you ever been to the store, seen a visibly upset lady who's got 5 kids, at her wit's end and can't decide between getting bread or milk? When I can, I give the cashier $10 or so & ask her to give it to the woman with the kids. I don't even stick around...if it can make a difference in her day, it's worth it. (My ex used to give me a hard time that I can't save the world. Maybe that's why he's now an ex! haha)
If you didn't have any money, how would you spend your time, what would make you smile?

Well, the money won't make you happy but it should not make you sad. Take some nice trips, share it with some of your family. Help some nice people that need it here in the USA!!!!!!!!!!! Don't go and give it all away just be good to people and see how rewarded you feel. Maybe you feel guilty for being rich and others not having much so why not do nice things for others! I like to help people even though I am not rich. I just bought an elderly ladies purchases at the grocery store because I know she lives on a small income. she was so tickeld and it only came to about $20. Just be really nice to others but I would not go overboard it is your money and you won it honestly.

The truth is money doesn't make you happy it just makes it easier to get the things you want in life.Truth be told a guy with 30 million bucks or a guy with 6 bucks and a great relationship with his family you tell me who is happier.I suggest you look at it for a while and see maybe You should watch the movie CLICK alone what can it hurt right and just try to think of the little people trying there *** off to succeed at everything even for peanuts.Well good luck to you and hope that you've found some escape cause I can only imagine the people pounding on your door! good luck

Maybe you should find some friends or join a sport or start some kind of hobbie. Are you just depressed? Now that you have all that money, maybe you could travle the world and see new things and spoil your wife. With all that money you pretty much have the power to do whatever you want, so take advantage of it. If you still aren't happy maybe you should talk to somebody about it, like your doctor. Good luck with everything. Smile! You should be happy because alot of people would love to be you right now.

Three words, buy a jetski. Have you ever seen somebody with a frown on a jetski, I think not. If that doesn't work give some. Make some small difference in this wacked out world. With probably 2 million you can sponsor thousands of poor foreign kids. Anyway, you're not happy because you have no purpose anymore. Theres no drive to do something. It's a simple fix, set yourself goals. Be it small or big, it will keep yo striving for success.

Money isn't an end in itself. It's how you can use it to make a positive impact in others lives - that's how you can find happiness in it. If you just go on with life - same as usual - but with more stuff - nothing will change. But imagine - you were able to give $ to help some family get a treatment for cancer, or bought someone with a disability a new scooter or wheelchair they couldn't afford, or bought a wheelchair van for a poor family who can't afford it. It's how you impact people and build relationships that will make this money valuable to you and bring true happiness. Imagine - you quit working to volunteer to help a non-for profit organization do something great. As long as you're focused on yourselves and your hapiness - you'll never be happy. When you're focused on others and seeing others happy - then you'll find what you're looking for.

maybe it is because the good news hasn't sunk in yet and you haven't started experiencing the changes that the money can make in your life. i'm not trying to say money buys happiness, but money does help maintain a constant, limited stress situation when it comes to living expenses.
or maybe you need something to focus on. try a project like a charity food drive, sending care packages to the elderly, or becoming an animal rescue organization volunteer. perhaps the sense of accomplishment and making a positive impact will take you out of your funk.
good luck and congratulations to you and your wife!

Congratulations.
Money only changes materialistic things.
It doesn't make you any happier.
Soul searching is good for the heart, with all that money, maybe giving some to the less fortunate may bring gratitude and happiness from within you.
Life is too short, change your perspective on things and enjoy.
As, for the less fortunate, you could send me a million.
You'll be in my heart forever.

When you give to others is when you are truly happy.. so help someone in need. You have the means so help someone that really needs a hand! A family or person Truly in need. Changing someone elses life can also change yours.. What you put out is what you get back. The law of attraction! Belive it!
