Silly question but, how did you make close friends when you first moved to Miami? Feeling like a fish out of water, from Texas.

I formed my main friend group by starting a night where we all watched a show we like together. Assuming the role of planner and connecter of people in a similar situation really helps.

Its hard to make friends as an adult, but getting into a hobby or some sort of group of people with shared interests is much better than trying to meet people at a nightclub or a bar. If you like the water, there are lots of hobbies in Miami involving water, so thats a place to meet friends. Try to Get into something you like, Biking? flying drones? Kayaking? boats? heck even Yoga, Dance classes, startup founders in wynwood, coffee or beer lovers at a local brewery, investors at meetups, whatever interests you, theres a group you can find. Its a big city.

Great idea!

Go to eventbrite and meet ups and attend the networking events. The networking event at freehold should be the most interesting one

Networking events provide the opportunity for that. Depending on your industry and age group that is.

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class). I work because of this vague notion of “ambition” and because everyone I grew up around is highly competitive and hard driving. I just feel unhappy so often and am wondering what this is all leading to. Scared I’m wasting my life being unhappy / in turmoil cause it’s what my culture wants me to do.
