Life is movement. If you become too static, you'll feel unhappy, restless and unfulfilled. It's normal.
Things must be moving in your life. New experiences, things to learn, things to unlearn, things to work on, opportunities to sometimes be disappointed in order to cast light on some personal illusions and limiting beliefs.
To be freed from the need of working is quite a blessing. One aspect of work that we often overlook is that it gives structure do the day to day life. Without a job, it is still possible to create a structure. Volunteering could be an example. Teaching, dog walking or learning a new skill and sharing it with others are other example as well.
You seem to have a knack for finding problems and solving them. Maybe you’d find happiness in helping others learn how to do this? Perhaps teach kids, or find some way to give back to the communities that gave you the opportunities to get to where you are.
A lot of people have found that “stuff” just doesn’t charm as much as they thought it would. And serving others or some greater goal can help you find a deeper meaning to life.
Or try meditating! It can be a lot of things, but one thing it is reliably is a way to feel more comfortable in the moment — to just be content in the here and now.
welcome to the game of life! its great that you have everything that you dreamt of and finally came to the realization that it is not what makes you happy otherwise you would just keep on chasing it without having the oppertunity to find out if its even worth it.
It is time to investigate yourself now, who is unhappy? what are you? who are you between the thoughts? is one between the thought's unhappy? is it not you? who are you really? find it out and be ready to get your beliefs/thoughts turn upside down. There is no harm in doing so as the current "you" already has everything that it seeked and is still unhappy, time to dig deeper.
see a therapist, you have the means. don't crowdsource your happiness. also, participate in community. create and experience art. explore the facets of your identity you will never monetize.
