I was a multi-millionaire by 27–here's what I learned
This is so contrastingly similar (yup, that&#x27;s a phrase) with an equally thought provoking set of tweets notch put up a couple of months after selling minecraft:<p>&quot;The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance.<p>In sweden, I will sit around and wait for my friends with jobs and families to have time to do shit, watching my reflection in the monitor<p>When we sold the company, the biggest effort went into making sure the employees got taken care of, and they all hate me now.<p>Found a great girl, but she&#x27;s afraid of me and my life style and went with a normal person instead.<p>I would Musk and try to save the world, but that just exposes me to the same type of assholes that made me sell minecraft again<p>People who made sudden success are telling me this is normal and will pass. That&#x27;s good to know! I guess I&#x27;ll take a shower then!&quot;<p>Really puts a light on the whole, money will make you happy spin that so many technologists seem to have fallen into.<p>References:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637562496056995840" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637562496056995840</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637563038258868224" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637563038258868224</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637563226755067904" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637563226755067904</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637563481139638272" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637563481139638272</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637563733124980736" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637563733124980736</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637565210266570752" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637565210266570752</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637569407208849408" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;notch&#x2F;status&#x2F;637569407208849408</a>
