So lonely that many young millionaires surf the web and just chit-chat.
Sometimes, I meet up with fellow millionaires for coffee at starbucks during office hours at ulu location with no crowd.
Sometimes, I go with fellow millionaires to property showroom. It is kind of a hobby to us.
Sometimes, We go out test-driving cars when the showroom is empty during office hours.
Sometimes, I attend investment seminars to entertain myself. Coz I can get to see "millionaires" or "successful" people talking, yet still selling how to get rich course. I also find joy in seeing suckers rushing to sign up, to enrich the trainers, not the participants.
It's a lonely life and I ask you all to be gainfully employed even if you are a millionaire. Treat it as socialising with people. Treat your job as a hobby too. Don't be like me, I quit and now I have trouble going back to work.

Hey, I am going down the path now, even though my net worth is less than a third of yours. I totally can understand what you mean by lonely!!! My friends all have jobs and I am the bum who stays at home. I trade stocks at night and I make only 5k every few days, since I only have 200k fully invested in stocks right now, whereas you have 1.5M in stocks.
Totally understand what you mean by being too free for your own good and having money that is too "passively earned". I feel that I can't really relate to my friends when they talk about how tough it is working or having to work late (even though I was once like them a few years ago). People do not know that I have this kind of money in my bank because I lead them to think otherwise. So I don't get the kind of respect from people as I used to when I was working with a prestigious bank. It's funny how people change when you quit your job and become a bum.
