Keeping motivation once reaching $100K in assets

Apologies in advance if this post comes off as insensitive or like a first world problem, but I’ve been privileged enough to reach $100K in assets thanks to discipline and delayed gratification, but now it feels like I’m losing the drive to keep investing/saving.

I know $100K is this magic number that everyone tries to reach, but so far I can’t tell a difference in compounding and my life is still the same aka beholden to my employer.

For those that have reached this incredible milestone, what motivated you to keep going?

Note: NOT looking for investing advice but again just motivating strategies to stick with my plan.
