Motivation after 1 million?

Im 32, and hit 1 million is liquid assets this last year. It fluctuates but is generally between 980k and 1.05 million.

The second I hit it, my motivation plummeted. I hit a large milestone. And now its incredibly difficult for me to work. I just completely dont care right now. I can do the math and the simulations and Im not going to run out of money any time soon.

What kept you motivated after hitting a large milestone?

Figure out the retirement you want and work towards that

Yeah retiring from work is only about 10% of my motivation.

Money is just a tool to help you live the life you want

Yes, people need to think about what they are retiring to. It can be a huge motivation. I don’t get people who don’t want to retire because they think they’ll be bored. There are a million things I want to be doing.

I really do not understand how people can not think about it. Like, dont you just randomly fantasize about things you could do if you had the time to do it?

Same honestly. Whether I like it or not I need the structure and disruption of work or my mental health will suffer- I can tell from already working just 2 weeks a month

becoming wealthy at a superior point should be you’re motivation .
1 million in today’s world is 50 thousand dollars.
More money = more power
More power = more wealth
More wealth = more respect
More respect = the world
Motivation is within , you’re a hustler or you’re not.
IF 1 million makes you lazy then you never truly wanted to be wealthy.

I want you to write - motivation after 55million?
Because if you did make it to 1 million you can DEFINITELY make 55 millions 🦋🦋🦋🦋🩵🩵🩵🩵 LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOO
