I do exercise, every day. I am in good shape, and stay that way.

I do not have hobbies, because I don't really like anything. Trust me, I've tried quite a lot of things... but nothing seems enjoyable enough to stick with it. And I could force myself to stick with it, but, at that point its just work.

Ever consider that you may like to be someone else's personal trainer or maybe partner with a few trainers and open up a cross-fit place?

I was in the same boat a few years back, I had an amazing job with great pay but wasn't happy. I had to force myself to give up on certain fun/costly activities so I could save even a little bit at a time. At some point for me, it was more about trying different things while I still had money coming. You seem to be having an early mid-life crisis! Might want to consider a career coach or a life coach, sounds strange but, there are some sites that offer great options like https://www.pivotplanet.com/

Good Luck!

Advice: research "ericksonian hypnosis"

Please forgive me if I'm brutal...

"I do not have hobbies": you're on HN... some call it a hobby!

"I don't really like anything": you probably like talking (you're here), software (who can write code without passion?), exercise (you do it every day!)...

"Trust me, I've tried quite a lot of things": the world has something for you. Find it.

"nothing seems enjoyable enough to stick with it": what would you do if... if you had that money, if you could do anything you want, if you could do something knowing you'll succeed anyway?

"I don't really like anything"

Have you considered that you may be depressed?
