You don't really have to be rich (> millionare) to do that. I currently work at a company that was once a freelance project, bought by some huge tech company and I was lucky to be one of the first few developers who joined before it was bought and enjoy every minute of writing code and I still have the energy to work on my own projects every day (I'm quite young, that might explain). It depends how lucky you are and the paths you've taken to be happy and make you not give a fuck.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply I was rich. Just that I was able to work for code without needing to worry about money, or what that code has to do for cash, for the time being. I think having nothing to do all day is the ultimate wealth - the richness of leisure.

Wish I had known this years ago and just focused on building my own shit rather than making the already rich slightly richer

"I think having nothing to do all day is the ultimate wealth - the richness of leisure." I can bet that after a week of doing nothing you'll get back to your daily stuff. It's like nicotine, once you are used to work all day you can't just stop. Even if it's not something you're used to do, something else might interest you. Our brain needs new stuff all the time, can't just put it to sleep inside a lambo.
