37? Seriously?
You're in the "boost phase" of your life, to borrow a metaphor from the missile jocks.
Buying "stuff" is like a sugar high . . . only temporarily satisfying.
Doing "stuff" is what satisfies. If you have the luxury of no financial obligations, take a sabbatical from work and "step out of yourself." Do something you've never done before, focus on other people. Teach somebody something.
He who dies with the most toys does not win; he dies lonely and empty. He who dies with the most friends, now that's a happy guy!
I'm 65; I know.
