My wife is going to retire from her full time job. Spring of 2026 I’m thinking about quitting my job so we can spent 2026 traveling and camping for the year while we are still our healthy.
If you can make the finances work...do it. As you say, your health won't be better waiting a few years. We started at age 37 (semi-retired still worked part time remotely) and fully retired a couple years ago at 52.
A big question is are you going to try to maintain the house? It's really quite cheap full timing (or at least it can be) but if you keep the house, that negates most of the potential savings.
