^ Totally concur. I watched my Dad work until he was 66. He spent a very fast decade buying a boat and trying to use it solo until he fell in the water one too many times. His ability to travel lasted about 5 years. Essentially by 75 he was at home on the couch all day everyday with occasional trips out for breakfast or dinner. By 89 he was dead. That was a very short 9 years he got to enjoy his life's labors.
That is exactly why I fully retired three days after I turned 50. Z E R O regrets.
