Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I look at it like this, maybe some will say I am too simplified: keep a certain base to cover long term care needs, keep a certain base to cover fixed expenses, and the rest is available for discretionary. It is easy to get too caught up in the details and the how long to live for planning question. I have a nice house paid for, numerous nice vehicles paid for, and overall good enough savings to allow for that discretionary fund to be tapped when I want. I can always get money out of the house and vehicles if needed if economic things turn to crap. So once I have the basic minimums covered, the rest I just view as spend on what I want to.
For OP marko, since you are in what I reference above as a nice amount of discretionary funds, spend some on things you can enjoy now. Go on that big vacation you have always thought about. Buy a new car, or some other large cost purchase. Give some away as gifts to people you want to help.
However you plan it, there will be some left at the end. You have the ability to make changes as needed to adjust to financial changes as they occur. Such as a big savings reduction due to market downturn or major medical issue. Could be that your savings is going up more than you thought. It can work both ways, just make adjustments.
