49 here, retired 4 years ago. The only reason I'd take risk is to buy nicer clothes or to take extra vacations. But - been there done that.

So happy for you!
I'm 53, need a couple of more years, but my countdown clock is getting really loud. I won't retire completely; just enough to get away from the stress and BS festival that is the tech industry. Current course and speed is to try to retire from the current place, then go get a job at a much smaller outfit -or- find something with a miniscule commute to work (there are some tech firms in Seattle I can walk or bike to, not bad). Then gradually shift off into the sunset with a few ideas for a YouTube channel and some teaching :).
