Hi guys,
I'm writing this post because I've been struggling with what to do for some time now.
From 2007-2012, I worked with affiliate marketing and earned a total of $5M in revenue, but couldn't sell my business because of the nature of affiliate marketing. I still receive about $20K per month as residual income from that business.
The problem is while I have earned what most people would think should be "enough", I sometimes get this greedy feeling, especially when reading this forum or Unscripted , that I should be doing more. I get caught thinking "yeah, 10K/month as passive income sure is nice, but what if I had double that amount?".
At the same time, I feel that is the Hedonic Treadmill speaking, meaning that if I had $10M, I would probably be wondering about what it would be to have $20M, etc.
My problem is that this leads me to being "stuck": I don't have a FU moment, since I live pretty comfortably and am pretty happy, and feel I'm too lazy to start something from zero, dreading the hard work it would take to get me to the level of income I have now. Smaller ventures just seem "not worth it of my time".
To put in a little context, I live in the UK, I am 28, married. In the last years, I studied 2 foreign languages and have been focusing on studying and playing classical music most of my time.
What do you think I should do? Do you think I should try to learn to be happy with what I have, or should I listen to this annoying greedy part of me?
Thank you so much!
