You need to read more stories here about people who have friends or relatives that worked another year or two, to make just a bit more for retirement, got sick and died, and ended up not being able to enjoy any of that money. IMHO, you work until you are FI, then you get the heck out. Money is/should be an enabler (nothing more). Let money work for you, and stop working for it.
Quit work, redefine your life, and enjoy life to the max, while you are still young enough to enjoy it.

will a 'should have died ' story be close enough
i had the start of 2020 ( for retirement ) looking possible , but early 2017 that plan was torn to shreds . so a deep breath taken and a new approach in the trial phase .
but luckily i had started to do something when i had some spare cash ( if nothing else i have 7 years experience )
