Earnings can mitigate financial mistakes early in life but once you retire and can’t count on earnings, planning needs to be pretty solid, particularly if you retire early. It would suck to realize partly into it that you need to figure out how go back to work for more earnings.
And as others stated, you need to think about how you’ll spend your time.

OP, what is your healthcare plan post retirement?
Have you seen the insurance prices in the private market? (no, Medicare for all will not happen)
The average lifespan for a male is ~84 years. In your case, you still have another 40 years to go...
