Not having something to do on a day-to-day basis can be very boring. People continue working because they wanted to be engaged socially, emotionally, be rewarded financially, etc. In other words, being a part of society keeps you sane and healthy. You're financially sound and you'll have no problems financing your lifestyle so long as you remain thrifty. just make sure you have something to do; whatever it may be.
I don't think I'll ever want to retire, at least from the traditional sense of the word. I share your same views with regard to the corporate workplace which I have since left as well. I'm still working, but somewhere of less prestige and sophistication, yet I'm now enjoying my work and social life much more than before.
Money is just a means to an end. And it seems you already have (enough of) it. At 35 there's still so so much more you could do. Perhaps you'll become a writer, artist, musician, or whatever it is you've always wanted to explore. Go bravely for the things that matter to you. Good luck.
