In short my life hasn't changed at all.

Though mine was a relatively small exit in comparison to some of these 9 and ten figure behemoths you hear about.

I thought I would not work for 3 or 4 years, that did not even last three or four months. But I still made time for fun in there too.

I was barely old enough to drink so I spent some time (and money) doing some stupid things (bought a bar once while I was hammered). Then I spent some time helping my dad's company get off the ground and primed for acquisition and now I am on to my 3rd startup.

Life only changed for me in the sense that I have less to worry about. As a whole I am still the same person and I still live basically the same.

I don't live a lavish lifestyle and I budget and save money like everyone else. I own a modest home and I drive a car which in not special (3 series).

I hope that I'll keep working until I am no longer physically capable but the most important thing to me at this point is being happy with what I am doing and spending time with my family and friends.
