I can relate to "warning shots". We retired due to our "warning shots". I had what turned out to be a benign tumor, but they didn't know it was benign until they went in to get it. It was almost inoperable. I got lucky I had one of the foremost specialists in the world (people fly in just to see him, but his office is about 30 miles from my house). Then 1poorlady had a not-benign tumor, and after surgery and chemo she is back to about 80%. And this was during COVID.

I figure I have about 20 years left, and I didn't want to work any more than I had to. Turned out, I didn't have to do any more than I had done. I'm not buying a boat anytime soon, but we have enough to last the rest of our lives.

We got back from 7 weeks in Asia, and we're doing another 4 weeks in Europe later this year. Go out and experience the world while we can.

As another poster said: your health will be fine until it isn't, and then it's all over.
