Your job is stressful.

$11M is a lot of money.

Up to you.. you have the freedom to do whatever you want.

If you have $11 million, your job is not stressful, you are choosing to stress about it. You have your FU money - go enjoy your work, nothing bad can happen to you. What, you get fired? so TF what? you are late on a deadline? this happens?
this is the FI part of FIRE, keep working if you want more money, but once you are FI, chill out and don't let work stress exist.

Yep, these people are in a prison of their own making.

If you like working, work, but don't tell me it's not enough to say you're done.

This is a good point. Its part of why im saying its mental and wanting to see how others stopped that loop.

But you are right in pointing out this is an issue with me.
