I'm half done. I've kept up my health and I'm trying to improve it even more. When I hit 65 I won't be too old to do much.

But the real question should be what are you waiting until retirement to do and why not do it sooner?

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because at the age of 36 I'm financially treading water and a week off here and there is enough time to de-stress from work, not enough time to do what I'd really like to.

You answered the why not without answering the what you want part. I'm sure you have a good reason to prioritize finances over your goals though. Good luck.

I'd like to travel.
