Congratulations on the success. Nothing in business makes me as happy as folks telling me that what I wrote/did/etc helped them out.
Though I don't know if I'd describe my lifestyle as "never having to actually work another day in my life." It feels less like work some days and more like work others. For example, it is 1:30 AM and while I could be snug in my bed I am instead clearing out the AR support inbox. (Poor planning earlier today, but still.)
"Actual work" meaning Japanese salaryman/having-a-boss-that-tells-you-what-to-do-and-when-to-do-it. I think I'm still in the honeymoon phase of customer support: I still get little rushes of adrenaline even for angry complaint emails ("something that I've created has provided so much utility for someone that they're angry when it doesn't").
It's certainly difficult at times, but when you can set your own hours, do wherever you want on whatever you want, and take as much time off as you want for any reason, it's difficult to justify using the W word.
