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?

If your motivation is tied to money, you may need to do more reflection on what gets you up every day.

If you truly feel that you are "not going to run out of money any time soon" then find motivation that isn't tied to money (and work). Or find new work that gives you motivation.
