The main reason I wouldn't retire early on a very minimal income is that I think there might be expensive anti-aging treatments on the horizon in the coming 40 years. I would like to be situated to take advantage of those.

This dilemma always reminds me of Dunbar from Catch 22 https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/496826-dunbar-loved-shooting-skeet-because-he-hated-every-minute-of https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/496826-dunbar-loved-shootin... Personally I'm most happy about the fact that life ends at some point. Whatever I do, whether I waste my life (whatever that meant) or live it "meaningfully", at one point it wont matter any more. Don't get me wrong, I like my life more or less and try to live it "meaningfully" but constantly thinking about whether I'm doing the right thing at the moment and what will happen "in the future" is quite tiring.
