Applied for new job opportunities to escape unfulfilling finance role

I'm 29 and currently working in a finance role that pays me around 5.5k a month. While my salary is stable with annual increments and bonuses, I find myself feeling increasingly unfulfilled and mentally drained. My job involves fixing problems and doing meticulous work, but it lacks enjoyment. I have a decent net worth of around 400k from trading US stocks, which makes me feel even more out of place in my current situation. Every day feels like a monotonous cycle: I struggle to wake up, commute to the CBD like a zombie, and then return home late, only to check my stocks before sleeping around 1am. My weekends are spent recovering from the week, and I've lost interest in hobbies and exercise. On top of this, I’ve never had a girlfriend, which adds to my feelings of isolation. I see others my age with partners who seem to have a reason to work, while I feel like I lack motivation. I've considered quitting my job as my investment gains seem to dwarf my salary, and I've thought about starting a business or pursuing freelance work for more freedom. I've also applied for other jobs, but so far, I haven't had any luck with interviews. I can't help but wonder if I'm being ungrateful for my situation or if my feelings are valid. I'm in a tough spot, and I’m not sure how to break free from this cycle.
