Wow that’s an intense life story! If we know anything in advance it would be easy to make a serious income and be rich. But a) it’s just bot that way. B) we’re all human and we all make mistakes, some bigger than others. It’s part of life. The great thing is, you’ve learned some very valuable lessons and probably wont make the same mistakes again!
And finally, if one is not happy, more money wont make you happier. Perhaps in the beginning it does, but in the long run it doesn’t. Happiness comes from within and the people in your life!
Thanks for sharing this very personal story!
It's quite intense yes, and this is just a part of it to be honest. The path that led to this was even more intense. Hence, the big depression I fell into, and I was in when I got that huge amount of money in my bank account.
And that just proves that if you're not happy, more money is not going to make you happier. In fact, I started to believe that no one should have that much money when you're not happy. I know at least from my experience that I was not capable of handling that amount of money because of the state of mind I was in at that time.

Governance over a large sum of money while not having a long term plan can be very destructive I guess.
On the bright side for you, this community is full of ppl to share your story with and help developing such plans by sharing ideas!

Having access to that large amount of money when you are in a self-destructive mood because of depression is certainly not a thing that helps you to move forward.
On the bright side, that time is far behind me now. I've lived, and I've learned.
Financially, it's slowly starting to get better. Slow and steady!
That’s awesome! Slow and steady wins the race! Fijn weekend :-)
Thanks! Is dat een verrassing, Nederlands! Jij ook een fijn weekend! ;-)
