(3) If you don't have time to spend it, enjoy others doing it for you ;)
Honestly, I assume you simply like your work, so look from the bright
side and see it as spending 60+ hours per week on (one of) your hobbys.
You are not doing it for the money anymore, your house is paid, your
children are all doing pretty well too, and you aren't a great spender
yourself, repairing your mouse if it fails, and let your computer fall
apart first before replacing it, etc.
Why not buy a new Porche, for starters ;) Buy the neighbours lot, get
a Mexican gardener, buy your own restaurant etc.
