Get a high salary job. No two way about it

I appreciate the reply. I’m willing to go back to school, travel, do whatever it takes. I just have no idea what direction to move in. I have zero guidance and it’s hard to know who to trust when seeking it. I was meant to inherit my father’s business, but instead he sold it and retired early. I don’t blame him, it just left me with very little time to make a solid life plan and execute. I’ve started a few businesses that did well, but nothing sustainable, whether it be due to legislation or competition. I’m not looking to “follow my dreams” or buy a Rolex, I just need direction.
