I sold my startup stake and found out that "nothing is really new anymore" couldn't be further from the truth. Not even any big amount of money. The time I gained helped me more than the money.

Was the stake enough to never work again (if you chose)? If so, how do you conceive of the rest of your life?

Not in my country but yes in Thailand etc.

I moved to the frontier of technological development and intend to stay here for the foreseeable future. What I think about now is pushing technological boundaries, not fulfilling my personal monetary needs.

Go backpack for a year or two to Ukraine and Russia, it's fun and you'll see things you've never even imagined

If you have family, going around in a converted van/bus is a very fun thing to do with endless possibilities

How much time did you get? How has that experience changed you today?
