Ask HN: How do billionaires deal with their anxiety?

It's an extension of graduation depression in a way. You have essentially succeeded at the most advertised metric of life, money. If you view life as a linear progression of growing success, then that's the logical conclusion. Good job, you win.

And I'd guess this is also why midlife crises are a thing. Once you've got your beautiful family, house, car and stable job, what's next?

Apologies if this is pedantic but, just the opposite, mid-life crises arise because of the realization that the gap between your accomplishments and your ideals is larger than you thought it would be by the time you reached middle age.

Seems strange trying to define precisely why people might have a crisis in the middle of their life, as if there would be a single reason.

this is not pedantic if it's the definition of a mid life crisis (I don't know), but just wrong if people worry about different things :-)
