I am rich and have no idea what to do with my life

The beauty of the internet is that you get to read stories that otherwise would’ve never been shared publicly.

Today is one of those days – written by one of the co-founders of Loom, it shares what happened to Vinay Hiremath after Loom was acquired by Atlassian and he became fantastically wealthy. It’s the only blog post on his website.

The reality is that money doesn’t solve the deep problems in our lives – it merely strips away everything else to reveal them more acutely. His story lays that to bare and I, for one, love that he published it for us to understand.

I am rich and have no idea what to do with my life [Vinay.sh] – “Life has been a haze this last year. After selling my company, I find myself in the totally un-relatable position of never having to work again. Everything feels like a side quest, but not in an inspiring way. I don’t have the same base desires driving me to make money or gain status. I have infinite freedom, yet I don’t know what to do with it, and, honestly, I’m not the most optimistic about life.”
