It would not be reasonable to quit my job right away, but I can't see myself continuing for years, that's for sure.
I'm in the same boat as you, presently.
My hoard passed the "Fuck You" money-level a few months back and since then I've been really starting to question a lot of things about life. "Why am I not enjoying life when I have more than I could responsibly spend in my lifetime ? I'm completely debt free, Thank God."
Going to hold out for three more stock vesting cycles and then make a decision late in the summer about retiring a year earlier than planned.
At the end of the day, I still do enjoy the work I do, find it mostly gratifying, and still am learning quite a bit in my old age. It's... ((( them ))) that make things unenjoyable and aggravating with social politics in my work environment.
It's all about perspective I guess.
I know I'm retiring "soon", just "not yet".

I don't want to actually 'retire' at all. I am fine for money now, but I don't want to have nothing to do, no reason to get up in the morning...
To be smart enough to get into Bitcoin, it requires a risk-taking and adventurous nature - I can't see how 'sitting on a beach' is going to be any fun at all for the majority of us!
I have some land overseas in a place I am fond of and I am looking at building there, perhaps to rent out for a while (it will pay for itself then) and it can either be where I go to for breaks, or to retire, or help out my income in old age.
I still run a business, but I just put all the staff on a profit share and told then I won't be around as much, so it's more up to them. They are working much harder now, so the business is growing more, it's great to see. I am now going in to work when I feel like it, just to cheer them on - I no longer have to, I enjoy it. I did just buy a new car, not a lambo - but something classy that isn't pretenetious and feels a pleasure to drive. To have nowhere to go and no reson to go in it woudl be heartbreaking.
Us Bitcoiner, we can't do 'nothing' - but we can do something positive, which we enjoy. We can all trust our investment instincts, right - so cash a litte out and well, invest it in something we are excited about - that we can enjoy.
Oh - and (if you're already much better off) don't keep waiting forever to cash something out, it may not last forever and life certainly doesn't.
