Honestly, sounds like an amazing life - both you and your friend. I’m 35 in the Bay with a NW of 250K. I am incredibly miserable because I don’t have enough money to have an upward trajectory. I’ll switch places with you in a heartbeat.
Seems to me like your hygiene factors are all taken care of, but the motivators are lacking. I hope I get to be in your situation soon, as I got laid off and trying to get back in.
I grew up having to do two part time jobs and go to school part time to put myself through college (late start too, only graduated at 25). I wasn’t financially prudent post-college either, took me a few years to get that taken care of as well. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think I can have enough money - which I acknowledge can be a recipe for misery but I think I’m ok being miserable if I had loads of money.
