You may need some therapy. To contrast: I'm 36, don't have 6-figure savings, no house, am married, but haven't lived in other countries or founded any startups, but I also value time with friends much more than career achievements.

Since my recent move to Minnesota I've been bummed out a bit due to isolation due to Covid, lack of sunlight, and a somewhat insular culture. I've been going to therapy to help out and it's been a big help. I've gone from feeling numb or like nothing matters, to just getting by, to being optimistic about my future now that I'm being tested for anxiety and ADHD.

I see that you're looking for an outside perspective with this post, but I suggest getting much more personalized help with a psychologist.
