1. Work as long as you can.
2. Save like you will be on your own tomorrow.
3. Live each day like it could be your last.

I also had my father sick at age 44 and died at 61. My brother, after a good physical the week before, had a massive heart attack and died at age 37. My cousin got an infection at age 26 and was dead before 27. My a second cousin passed at age 57. Three co-workers died in thier thirties.
My point is whoever we are tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Enjoy today and if that is means retiring with less $$ just do it. And like the above note, if it means later in life you are short $$ you still will make it somehow. But if you wait and become sick and are unable to enjoy you will never forgive yourself for wasting those months, day, minutes.
