You are not totally retiring, you are gearing down. I did this at a much younger age than you for much the same reasons that others have mentioned above. I have not been sorry. It isn't like you are throwing it all to the winds and becoming a bum. You've looked at your finances and your lifestyle and are not being irresponsible. Do be sure to consider inflation, health care coverage, and an emergency fund.
Enjoy your lives while you can. Sometimes later never comes.
