After leaving my job, I feel like a useless person🤔

Yesterday, I hit my magic number: $3 million in liquid net worth. At 53, I should be celebrating, right? But instead, I’m staring at my laptop, wondering if cutting back to 10 hours a week as a professional engineer is really the dream I thought it’d be. My boss wants me full-time, but at least he’s cool with my plan. My wife and I are plotting road trips in our travel trailer, and Starlink means I can work from anywhere. But here’s the kicker—I don’t really have hobbies, and I’m not sure what to do with all this new “freedom.” Our kid’s almost done with college, so expenses are low, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing something. Has anyone else felt lost after reaching their financial goals? What did you do next? Any advice would mean the world right now. 🙏 #CareerTransition #WorkLifeBalance #RetirementPlanning #JobCareer
