If you can retire dont hold off till you get sick and cant enjoy it much, or worse. Retired friends used to tell me that but i kept working. Just saying.

There is no magic age. Everyone is different.

These are my sentiments exactly. I'm focusing way more on retiring "healthy" than "wealthy". As long as my family and I have our health, we plan on making the best of it as long as we can. Material wealth will never trump experiences for me.
