36, frustrated, angry, bored, uninspired and stuck in a safe, boring, but tolerable dead end job. A job which I'll be stuck doing for the next 30 years till retirement cause this is as far as I can go in my life. Failed and burned out from multiple business ventures, and have completely given up hope in building a successful business empire or doing anything of note period. I've resigned myself to my fate. My question is how to accept & cope with the misery that is my mediocre and boring life? Drugs? Alcohol? Criminal activity?

Ok Lamborghini gallardo then ๐Ÿ˜‚. Just nice to have. I feel you I'm regards to wage slavery, hence I endeavoured into failed business ventures. Correct, self driven and self sufficient. Import/export brokering deals, but my partners and I quit after several years of getting close to closing some deals as we got tired of all the bullshit, and saw no way to succeed as long as we were stuck in Australia with a lack of funds to move overseas. Yes exactly, I don't believe effort gets you results anymore. From my observations business success only comes to those whose parents were already well connected and financially well off. If your have neither like me, then your fucked. I'd like to be in the history books having done something, if not at least my friends, family and business associates. I haven't thought about unique skills, just been trying different business ventures until one sticks. I've got a lot of talents, Ive got a good singing voice, but I don't want to be a performer, can play other instruments, can compose music, can paint, draw etc. Have a talent for saving money, have a good memory, good at analysis. I've been poor and am to a degree, I'll take money any day. The whole money doesn't make you happy argument is mute. I'd rather cry in a Bugatti than in a ford focus. Yeah, but I'd rather not be those famous poor people. I'd rather not be Mozart or Tesla, not interested in dying poor. I want wealthy connections so I can advance in life, just like what other people have, no reason I should be exempt from that advantage. Poor interesting people get boring very quickly in my experience and have lives that go nowhere. I'm looking at eastern Europe were it's cheap to live and there's very little gov regulations and low taxes like Hungary, Czech republic, Slovakia, Poland etc. There's nothing I can do to make the situation better, Ive accepted that now. Kids ๐Ÿ˜‚, that will never happen I can't even find any single women, nor can I see that I will. So I've accepted that too. All I have to look forward to is maybe an early retirement and banging the occasion hooker till I die.
