No i like what i do. Its a hobby and a way of life. No matter how much money I have I'll always be looking at different ways to increase it. But the thing is, At a certain point it goes from doing it to survive and doing it because you find it fun. So if I had 10 million in the account, I wouldn't stop working, but what I do work on would be more entertaining and less stressful.
 
I might continue working or venture into business opportunities that align with my interests and goals for future growth.
 
for a bit only. as sooner or later you will become bored. and if you only spend time spending and entertaining yourself that mony will just be lost sooner or later. even if you make a passive income it will probaly get boring anyways.
 
No but there would be some really obvious signs :D Hard to have a bad day at work when you're driving home in a Lamborghini!
 
Yes but also I'd be working on passion projects or more business ideas.

And I'd be investing in lots of juicy bitcoin, of course!
 
I personally know exactly 1 person with a networth over 10 million, though he exceeds that sum quite a bit.

Not going to say any names here, but the guy owns one of the biggest hosting and domain registrar companies in Finland and also manages a handful of other companies.

The guy works ~2-4 hours a day, and spends his free time mostly with friends & family. Smokes cigars and drinks cognac in Spain most of the year.

I'm fairly certain that if I had that kind of money, I'd also do the exact same.
From what I've seen, he seems to have figured the perfect balance of work and free time.
 
With that kind of money you relocate the buisness somewhere with cheap labour and pay people to do it for you.
 
That sort of money opens up many opportunities.
It also allows you to hire very smart people to actively run your businesses.
It would allow you to quit working at those things you dislike and allow you to work at things that are meaningful to you.
You could really make a difference in other people's lives.

Personally, I think I would like to try to grow that money, but I would have to ask the wife if she will let me. If she gives me $2000000, then I have $1mil for business and $1mil to spunk up the wall. Joke, I would probably squander it all.

Dawg. I just saw something like this the other day….. my uncle was sitting at kitchen table with my other uncles talking his couple drinks and some dominoes in, s$&t about how “I’m king of the castle, I tell that B what to do”. My cousin points a camera at him, and he back tracks real quick

“I’m sorry babe, I was lying…. I love you, didn’t mean it”
 
I would invest it until I get 9 figs. Then I would quit.
 
no. i genuinely like doing all of this nerdy stuff i do. i would probably shift to building stuff that isn't so money-oriented though. i do have some civic-minded projects i would love to do but simply don't have the time to atm. things that would help combat some issues my country faces. there's no profit in that, save for the good will of your fellow citizens. one day... i think i would get bored if i wasn't building something tbh, my brain would turn to mush! :eek:
 
I will most likely quite my job and put the money where I can earn 2%
 
yes but use the money to do something i like and make my interest as my "new" work
