I grew up being told that if you work hard life will be amazing; I used to dream of being rich and cool, as a matter of facts, I used to window shop the things I planned to buy when I get the money. Fast forward to today, I have been blessed beyond my imagination but I feel empty and unsettle, most of the nights I am up because I can’t fall asleep, most of the days I am tired because I didn’t sleep. I put a lot of pressure on myself, I feel trapped in a never ending circle of money and career. The material things liked cars, clothes and the home I thought I’d buy, now that I have the means, I don’t want them. I can’t get to spent any money because I am scared of losing it. I have stashed good amount of money/assets but I can’t help myself but want more even when I know I don’t need it. I am miserable sometimes and I miss when I was hustling and celebrating small wins, nothing is good enough to celebrate anymore! All my broke friends seem really happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone feeling the same??????

Got married last year after years of escaping the trap and yes she knows what she got into and it doesn't worry me!
I have "normal people" in my family unfortunately everyone want something from me and I can't have a normal relationship with almost everyone of my supposedly family!
