This isn't about wanting sympathy. It's merely an observation.

If you ever get there, you'll see ;) don't worry, you're not special, and you too can become bored with infinite money... it's just nature.

> You're seriously comparing a cancer diagnosis with being bored while reveling in nigh-infinite opportunity?
Yes I am. I can compare anything even grasshoppers and peanut butter. They often have different colors, but grasshoppers have more legs.
There is a simple and obvious solution to this "abundance boredom": remove the abundance. There. Done. Put all your money in charity or, if that's too altruistic of you, lock it away in investments where you can't get at it easily and force yourself to live off of the national median income (~$38k individual, $70k household in the us).
The thing about being poorer is that you can't do the opposite, so it is quite understandable that no one in a poorer position has any sympathy.
