+1.Yup, that's why we retired early. We figured we had enough money for a modest retirement, but we were quickly running out of life.

DH died last year, one week before what we had been planning to be his/our retirement or semi-retirement date, depending on how Megacorp reacted. He had been diagnosed with cancer nine months earlier.
He was 55, and I'm 51, and we had taken all manner of lessons from friends and family who died way too young--we had amassed our nest egg, spent hours upon hours plotting our path, and were ready to start enjoying it. And we still didn't do it soon enough.
Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.

I've seen several 50-ish age neighbors die. Like you're chatting about their green grass one day then after several weeks you don't see them and hear from another neighbor that they had a massive stroke/heart attack/aggressive cancer and they're dead. Boom lights out.
About a decade ago I went through a period of 5 years where friends and family were dropping right and left. I lost an aged parent, my younger sibling (only 56), three very good friends, and two more friends got so sick their lives changed forever.
