Default Depends on the lifestyle

I know a guy that was forced into a disability/retirement at age 49 (late 2009). They had roughly $400K saved in investments. Moved to NC for lower taxes and cheaper home. After the move they were mortgage free in early 2010 and broke the $1 million mark briefly in 2022. They now go on at least one, month long vacation per year plus a month in The Villages. (I'm jealous) The mortgage is what could bite back depending on the amount. Be careful, do your math and good luck. Enjoy retirement, especially if you are healthy!
