Had my dad retired younger, when his health was better, I think they would have enjoyed retirement more. So if I can bank enough to retire early, I will. It is clear that an aggressive strategy is about the only way for me to get there, so I am all in while the market is bullish. Even if it crashes, that just means I don't retire early and I am back to plan A, work until 63+ and retire at the "normal" time. Time is your friend in the market but not in your health. So if you can comfortably do what you want at an earlier age, grab the brass ring and get off the merry-go-round and explore the park. Just my thoughts.

Amen.
The only resource we can't get more of is time. Use it wisely.
