It seems like Elon Musk did exactly what you just described.. He sold his first 2 startups and now he's real passionate about things he loves: physics and anything that has to do with it (space, cars etc) . Once there's unlimited resource it's easy to do things you want

Right but how long should one spend trying to make big money before humbly attacking their true goals? As another commenter said here, time is hard to recover

you can start with your true goals right away, in Elon's example he wouldn't be able to start building Spaceships without having billions on dollars in his pocket... If the true goal/passion requires less capital and you have it available then go for it right away

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you
