One of my friends is suffering and always feeling like they’re not doing enough.

They made a lot of money at a young age between 20-23

Totalling 400k in investments and 600k money in the bank.

any words of advice to give them a reality check? As they’re constantly down and always wanting more and never seems enough to them.

they don’t feel like they’re doing enough in life

OP, there's absolutely no point in this thread. There's nothing anyone can say that's ever going to help.

Pay builders? Project manager’s?

do you really think he’s going to do it himself…

No, of course not, but a large part of building is to do with costing and knowing the right people who can do a good job. I think most of us would admit we wouldn't have a clue where to start with this.

When you’ve made that much money at a young age.

youd be surprised who he knows from all walks of life

he already owns houses that are rented

@JollyJoker I think you were asking how to give your friend a reality check because they are unfulfilled. You insinuated that this is because despite having made a million in 2 years they want more, and more, and have lavish tastes. Never happy, content or satisfied.

Someone suggested they look outside financial wellbeing and perhaps look to relationships for fulfilment, or helping others.

You said they do help others, by renting, nobody is going to get fulfillment though helping others by renting to them. Unless your friend is perhaps renting at way under market value to vulnerable groups.

You have focused on all the answers that are finance orientated and engaged very little with those suggesting ways your friend might feel more fulfilled.

So my slow clap and laughing face are because i find your thread totally disingenuous, and cannot fathom why you started it.

Providing someone a home provides fulfilment

Then you would not be concerned about your friends lack of fulfilment. So you can move on to worry about someone else?

In my experience, Providing a home for someone in need yes, as a business model. No. Sorry, that wont give you a warm fuzzy feeling.
