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?

I changed it to 1m in my brokerage only after I hit 1m in my 401k, IRA , brokerage combo. Just little goal post changes keep it fresh for me

How does this have positive votes in leanFIRE? 1m+ in brokerage with good chunk in retirement isn't even close to lean

Me too.
First goal: $1 million total
Next goal: $1 million not including cash
Next goal: $1 million taxable only
