I watched today MJDeMarco's video about purpose and there's a part where he is saying that first purpose should be personal as in i.e. becoming a multi-millionaire.
What struck me is that despite wanting that (well, who doesn't) that purpose completely doesn't push me nor creates motivation to work. There is no drive nor passion nor even energy to support this 'want'.
What's my current situation?
I honestly feel beaten up by life and constantly loosing in the game of life since for the last almost 20 years now (I'm almost 40). Never bought myself a nice car, never really lived a good life. At times I have days that I feel better, but most of the time it's how I described. And no, therapy also doesn't work for me - tried it twice, never really helped me now I see in the hindsight.
What would you do?

What's my current situation?
- net worth is low (around low 5-figs)
- used to earn a living via coding (as a senior dev), but I hate working 9-5 (and meetings) despite good money and freelancing is flood with cheap labor from Asia
- coded some apps that barely make money
- went into crypto - made some money, lived off of it (still do), realized that full-time trading is not for me (I'm better at just holding and long term swings)
