Just curious, with so much runway do you still work? What motivates you?

I live fairly frugally compared to other people in the Bay Area whose actual yearly expenses might be $150k+ (did I say financial independence is my obsession? :-)), so I don’t mind accumulating more, it will give me more flexibility.

But I am fairly burned out so it’s likely I will permanently quit within the next couple years or so. In a weird way, I would welcome a layoff as forcing function to move on from corporate.
