The way I look at things nowadays is I have my health don't go hungry and can afford to RV and travel. Life is good. Whenever I get upset I think of my co-workers that never made it to retirement. 3 died of Cancer 1 of a heart attack and 1 with immune disorder. My problems seem small in comparison.
How true. I experienced the same thing, except these people were beloved uncles. They all died just before retirement or shortly thereafter. it was a major part of my decision to retire "early" and go full time.
I have seen this over and over, so my advice is DO NOT WAIT.
