I was involved in the GME thing early on. It was a rush, day after day of extreme highs and extreme lows. I timed my exit perfectly and got out at the absolute pinnacle and was over the moon.
I also landed a sick new job that's a massive improvement over where I was previously.
The only problem? It's sort of taken the wind out of my sails. I have always been professionallly motivated and work hard to make good money and then making half a million in a month just sort of dwarfed all the hard work I've put into everything I have. Now I've earned orders of magnitude more in a month than I have in 34 years of work and it just makes working and doing anything seem like a waste of time.
Half a million is nice, but it's not enough to live some fancy lavish lifestyle and retire so I still have to work but all of life just feels so slow, and boring now and I'm left with a mid life crisis.
