For those who have experienced their first big startup success, what did you end up doing next? Are you satisfied with the decision? Is your life better or worse than before the exit?

10 years ago exited with FU money.
Golden handcuffs for a while, left work 2012.
Honestly didn't do much else. Easy to find subpar ideas but lack the hunger to execute.
Fast forward a decade and are kids, wife, unhappy marriage (with no fault divorce so you can transfer most of the wealth over) and you really wish you just had a "normal life". You know, where going to work each day is necessary and thus defensible and rewarding.
Quite honestly I spend a lot of time thinking about departing life. People thinking startup success is the end game are kidding thenselves in my anecdotal experience.
