Mine was 55 quite a few years ago, not sure that will happen but I am sure giving it my best shot. My intermediate goal is to at least have the mortgage paid off by 45. Your very right, life is always throwing curve balls at you, so just try and stay down to earth like your doing. Sometimes finances will fall back in line quickly without much need for change on your part, and other times it will take what seems a very long time with many changes to get back on schedule.

Free at 45 is like the average expected age of retirement. It may shift up or down down depending on the week and how bad or good the markets have been.

Besides, it has a nice ring to it.

It is more a question of making the best decisions every day on earning, spending, and family and knowing that if you handle the here-and-now, the there-and-later will take care of itself. You are asking the right questions of yourself regarding your goals and life priorities. You might have to think about changing the name of the blog to reflect a plan that is more pencil than pen...
