I have a wide range of outcome in my mind, depending on how the market works out.
Best case: I maintain the two houses I have now, and the motorhome. Each year, I do a 2-month long RV trek, take a 1-month European trip, and a 1-week cruise. My stash grows so much, but I do not know what to do with it despite giving some to charities, so will die rich. Upon my death or DW's, whatever occurs later, my two children immediately enter ER with the money left behind.
Worst case: I lose both houses, and go live in the 25' RV, parked on New Mexico state land for a couple of bucks a day.
The future has to fall somewhere within those extremes. And if I am OK with those two extremes, it should be OK with whatever in between.
Of course, I prefer it to be one case than the other. But that shows the flexibility that I have. Have not discussed it with my wife. No point in worrying her needlessly.
