>>21246735>Thoughts?Yes, but also no. I did work and invest my money to the point now where I have ~$800k in index funds at age 40. I would love to have gotten married and had kids, and still would, but it hasn't worked out that way as I cannot find the right woman to spend my life with, i.e. one who would be a net positive in my life the way I would be to her. I also dream of taking part of my investments and using it to buy a piece of land and start a homestead, but I am ravaged by allergies I've had since I was a baby, probably caused by vaccines. So instead I am a NEET, living off passive income, living alone rent free in a family property. All I do is exercise, play music, play video games, and do stuff with friends like trivia nights, board game nights, dinners, watch old TV series, read, etc. I know in my heart there is more to life than this, that I should be a husband and father, but with every year that goes by the chances become slimmer. If I could trade it all in and be 20 again I would do things differently, even if it meant I had to wagecuck for the rest of my life it'd be worth it to have a family to do it for. I'm grateful for what I have, and I'm not depressed, but I do see that living like an island is not The Way (TM). Without skin in the game life can feel like an endless Twin Peaks dream sequence.
Those are my thoughts.
