I can't retire and walk away for a few reasons.
First, I do this because this is something that allows me to keep my mind sufficiently challenged. It's hard to challenge my mind otherwise. I'll never be able to turn that off... so I'll always have to have something to challenge my mind.
Second, there's a LOT of work to do, both in building and discovering. I feel like I am only just now starting to accomplish really important things with this technology. What you're going to see in the future is important... I can't quit now, there's too much good to be done.
Third, I need $237 million to seriously get going with what my real goals are... I don't know how I know that, but that's always been something I "just knew".
Don't worry. I'll be doing this for another 10 or 20 years, even after becoming wealthy. I enjoy discovering and making positive changes as much as I enjoy the challenge to my mind.
