This comment makes you sound unhappy but I hope that is not the case. You have nothing but choices and opportunity. Ask yourself "What is enough?" and "When I have enough, what will do?". It's likely you're already there and can finance a life that makes you happy.

I suppose you can either change yourself or change your social circle. I've found big changes in myself are difficult without changing the external factors for some period of time. Otherwise, it's too easy to fall into old patterns of behavior.
