Enjoy it while you can. At some point a beancounter will look at you and decide your salary is too high or your healthcare costs are upsetting the average, and you'll find yourself on a layoff list. I have a friend who has the same qualities you describe: experienced, works well with others, and works hard; he hasn't had a job in 2 years after his layoff at age 59.
As for startups, I'd suggest buying a lottery ticket - it has similar odds but involves much less work.

An instinctive retort to this would be "it doesn't matter, I produce value", but what one must understand is, value often doesn't matter, at all. As they say, perception is reality. Cut your costs, pay down debt, save what's left over. All money flows to the top, and at an increasing rate.
