Most people think similar when that is still far away. However the closer you get, the more likely you are going to think: 'Nah, its not that bad yet, lets wait another 5 years, lets wait another 2 years, lets wait another 6 months' and so on. The will to live seems to be much stronger for short term decisions. (It is similar probably for other things like sports, living on your own etc. When I am older I do not think I will want an SUV for convenience but who knows how I will think then)
