@sun yeah, good to not get too excited about things that are hard to control like that. I'm still trying to prepare for it to give myself the best chance, but it might blow up in my face - who knows.
For me, I don't really look at retirement as stopping doing things though. I look at it as "can try doing something you want to do that might not pan out", which I'd like to try some of my own things at least once before I die.
