I have had reality smack me into going cruising now instead of later. My
coworker decided to buy a boat to cruise on retiring in a year. Found a
great boat and was working towards closing day. Noticed he could not shake
off the flu bug, went to the doctor - he won't be going anywhere. That is
the kick in the pants I needed. I will be closing on his boat in a couple of
weeks. It will be his to use while he can. Then we will sell the house and
cruise.
So that beings me to the group.
On the other hand my parents are in their late seventies living aboard in
warm waters.

GO for it! I'm hoping for a non-lethal kick in the pants like that, but
more likely will find myself "between jobs" next when I retire. We've
already got a couple of years' cruising kitty saved up for whatever
eventuality.
