Default When you have more money than you need

I'm a cheap person. I've only spent money on necessities. I'm not a big spender.

After running hot in a couple of MTT's and cash games, I now have much more money than a college freshman would need. The difference is, I don't buy much crap. Now, poker isn't nearly as fun. In fact, it wasn't as fun earlier but there was an imperative to make money for a greater level of security. Now that I have that, I dunno.

I feel like I'm stuck in a grey area that's between playing poker as a job so I can pay for college, and playing poker beyond that to make a bunch of money for expensive toys.

There is clearly something wrong here. Is there any sense in me to continue playing, or is it best if I just take a break from the grind of poker for a month or two? I am setting aside a little money to try and qualify for a WPT event, but beyond that I've cashed everything out.
