I recently came across a Reddit post from a soon-to-be retiree approaching his 60th birthday. His 401(k) balance was nearing $800,000, but the milestone made him step back and reevaluate his retirement goals and long-term strategy. This is a perfect example of how retirement planning isn't static. Goals shift, priorities evolve, and financial realities change. That's completely normal. What matters is adjusting your strategy intentionally rather than reacting without a plan.
