I always find it particularly funny when someone says "oh, I totally get feeling lonely. Just the other day I was telling my wife that I was..."
I don’t have any real advice for you except to say that you’re not alone and what you’re experiencing is shared by many. I’m turning 34 next week and feel similarly, despite having achieved a lot of “success” in my business life. I too haven’t had a relationship in many, many years and am disillusioned by technology. I miss my 20s and envy the younger generation for many things. My body is getting older and more tire…

Perhaps this is naive of me but to have half a million in the bank and being miserable sounds like a pretty poor state of affairs. Time to convert some of that money into time and experiences.
Image OP being in the same state of mind but with 20K in the bank. Now, that’s miserable.

>I suggest machining That's a great hobby, but instead of screws i made some small steam-engines, it's not too hard and it's absolutely fascinating if they start working ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp8FMqgc5Io Not my content...
