Have you posted about this before? This seems really familiar. Either way, I don't really understand your dilemma - you've clearly got enough cash to start a business. If you don't have any ideas of your own, fund someone else or buy into a franchise. Most of the multi/decamillionaires I know made their money over time doing boring, normal things.
I know I shouldn't joke about this, but I'm currently imagining the headline: "Millionaire kills himself over not being rich enough."
But it doesn't change the fact that i am fucked right now and I need some help.

It really has everything to do with not being rich. A million dollars is not rich. 100 million is. When you have a million, you make passive income of 60-70k per year. When you have 100 million, you make passive income of 7 million per year (but probably much more), which gives you almost 600k per month. You can do anything and you really don't care about saving money at this point, so you can spend all of it. As opp…
Coming from someone living paycheck to paycheck - a million dollars is extremely rich. You could do with counselling to find the root cause of your current depression. Don't make any big decisions until you're in therapy, you'll probably end up regretting them. A million dollars in savings isn't rich, good lord.. that's rich!

Why should they get to have more fun than me? Fuck them.

You have 60k passive income, which is more than most people on this site have for passive, and is more than most people's salaries in US. My point is you are very well off financially. Sounds like you want the luxury of going into a store and buying whatever you want - that might not happen. The reason it's bothering you is psychological, not financial. Would you rather be Steve Jobs? rich ... but he can't buy anythi…
Hmmm. Given your financial situation I don't think your problem really has anything to do with 'not being rich'. It just sounds like you're depressed about something. Why not consider donating a portion to a charity? If anything it may absolve yourself of some responsibility regarding your cynical outlook? Be the change you seek :)
As we've all read here, past a certain level of security more money doesn't make you happier. You have more than enough money and savings for what passes as security in the US. My guess is that you're sad or depressed about one thing, but looking at the rich issue instead of whatever it is that's troubling you. Fundamentally, as you can see from other comments, you don't seem to have an obvious reason for depression…

> It really has everything to do with not being rich. A million dollars is not rich. 100 million is. 100 million isn't rich, 10 billion is. Look, there's always going to be someone richer. Only one person in 7 billion gets to be the richest person on the planet. Stop staring at the top, and consider the over 99% of the world's population that's a lot poorer than you. You are easily in the richest 1%. You are rich. Yo…
100 million is what I want. I feel like then, I could live how I wanted. I want to help people. I want to make the world a better place. I have no evil desires. If someone came up to me right now and said hey buddy, I'll give you 100 million if you help me starve just 1 dying boy in africa right now, I would punch that cock in the face. I do not want to make money at the expense of other people.
I want to help people. I want to improve the world. I believe in evolution. I believe in our planet.
I don't know what else there is to say. Except for- I will make it my business to murder people who oppress other people. I really will.

If you have a passive income enough for survival (which you do), but you have feelings of desparation about a need to re-invest more + thoughts of spending cause panic then this is a sign that your worrying is hurting you, badly. Try investing part of that money not in savings, but in psychotherapy; improving on all that anxiety will make you much happier and you'll have an easier time making decisions about your fin…
"I have saved over a million dollars and I make over 60k per year in passive income ... At that rate, I will never know what it is to be rich." WHAT? I would consider that hideously rich, I've never met anyone with that much money before. A million dollars? Speechless.

What part of the world do you live in? What parts of the world have you been to? What have you done outside of work?
I have volunteered at homeless shelters. I have played golf at a professional level, I have an engineering degree, I have given speeches to high school classes about life, I have built a blog and website (not good @ coding though).
I have traveled and enjoyed some of the finest food in the American nation. I have owned some of the finest sports cars and lived and some of the nicest places (douche). I have caught world record fish in the gulf of mexico. I have shot a 59 on a golf course (18 holes). I have raided with a top 6 worldwide guild on wow. I have made it to the top 18 in quake live duel rankings. Wow I am fucking loser. I haven't done shit with my life. Fuck me. I should kill myself. lol.
"There are three gates leading to this hell — lust, anger and greed. Every sane man should give these up, for they lead to the degradation of the soul." - Bhagavad Gita There's a great movie about happiness on Netflix that I'd recommend: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1613092/ Ironically, some of the happiest people are the poorest. Wealth is a weak indicator of happiness.
They expect the world of me, and I intent to bring it.
