I cannot say if you're depressed or not but maybe you just like to keep things simple? I totally agree with Webgoji. We live in a society (in my humble opinion) where we feel like we have to be "Successful." And we have to have the material things or the diplomas and degrees to prove our success. I look at my son who was always under pressure in school for doing something with his life because he was a straight A student, had perfect attendance, he always tested as "Gifted" on those tests but refused to participate in the gifted programs they offered him. He turned down some of his teachers' advice to apply for scholarships and go to the university and instead attended a 2 year vocational school. He is now 26, owns his own small home, drives a decent used car, has his sports car (also used) for fun. He likes girls but doesn't seem to particularly feel the need to have a girlfriend. He is not a millionaire but has more than enough money in the bank, and he's perfectly happy.
